    Great point, when it's a company like Valve, just take your business elsewhere. It's quite simple. But when it's government the restrictions on what they can do should be great and well enforced.

    This is talked about in 1984 with the oft quoted 2+2=5. The double think that is explained of this is that the state forces you to believe that 2+2=5, yet when it comes time to count and add things you understand that 2+2=4 otherwise basic life wouldn't work. When asked by a party official though the response will always be "5"

    My favorite is, don't tell your team the plan just give them a bunch of tasks. Let them question the outcome but don't let them know that when everything looks like it is about to fail you'll pull out your final thing and save the day explaining all the random crap you did to start with.
