Should Australian society be based on "A Clockwork Orange"?

[Mr H]

Many people have questioned the meaning of the title. Is it a mechanical color? A Robotic Fruit? Some have even argued that this means mechanical man, suggesting that it's not "Orange" at all, but "ourang" that being the Malay word for "Man" as heard in "orangutan" (Literally "Jungle Man").

However, as Anthony Burgess, the author, later wrote in his novel, 'A Clockwork Orange Resucked', he states that "a clockwork orange' is the result of society's socialization of man from a sweet and oozing thing of God into a Mechanical Creation."

Burgess explains that this name is taken from old-London slang for a bizarre thing that is "queer to the limit of queerness."

As he puts it, "I mean it to stand for the application of a mechanistic morality to a living organism oozing with juice and sweetness."

The more I understand the meaning of the term, the more I liken it to the ALP's ideals......the leftists unions & their underlings, the ALP front bench, promote "mechanical" obedience from their members & supporters. The political questions & answers in this section, by these stooges, support my views.
