Help me find a quotation. I have a vague memory of a quote (perhaps from a respected literary figure, maybe Orwell) which states that the name given to a piece of legislation will always denote the opposite of the purpose of the legislation. In effect, the names of our laws are propaganda. The USA PATRIOT Act springs immediately to mind. Are you familiar with this alleged quote? Who said it and what did they say? I'm pretty sure it's not from a work of fiction (e.g., "1984") and I know it's not in Orwell's "Politics and the English Language".

I can't wait to see the answers. In Florida if we want an ammendment, we have to vote "no". If we don't want it, we have to vote "yes", clearly they want to confuse the voters.
