Our freedom is being salami-sliced away, with each slice justified by terrorism, or children's welfare, or crime reduction, until we won't have any left. Each stage may be unexceptional in itself, but taken together we are more spied-upon and less free than at any period in our history. The DNA issue is just one example.<br /><br />The people objecting are, increasingly, normal folk, rather than survivalist lunatics with tinfoil hats. Things like the DNA database and the ID cards issue may not survive a change of Govt, but the trend is inexorable.Richardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15743685798068014455noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7099099432720184584.post-26030364757144244762010-03-28T02:20:04.805+01:002010-03-28T02:20:04.805+01:00Interesting.

(except that is among the neo-fascists popularly holed up in Idaho expecting govt. inserted identification chips in their necks at birth and/or anyday now. They're a funny lot.)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
