A Strange Trip by John Baker Hopkins:
Science Fiction Inventions, Technology and Ideas
"I may mention one more curious fact in connection with my strange trip. It is that very often when I now read the speeches of politicians or social reformers, 1 am reminded of Moonland, of the pills, and of the spectacles, of the equality regulations by which the philosophical rulers try to correct what they call the mistakes of Nature, and of the liberty not to feed, or sleep, or grow, or work, or play, or read, or talk, or think except as directed by the philosophical rulers. Why do the speeches of some politicians and social reformers remind me of my strange trip to Moonland? Surely that is an easy riddle."
