Careful dave holbon, in the US you would be labeled as a terrorist or someone that hates his country just because you don't wanna lose your rights so that you can be free. [doesn't make sense does it?]
==================================================
One of many thing’s I’ve never understood is the propensity for so called “free” and “democratic” societies to try and impose their particular beliefs on the rest of humanity, even in some cases by force. Of course this is a trick subject; it defines what’s right and wrong from a personal and fundament point of view which can vary depending on both your experience, political view and most importantly “what you believe”. All of these are ever changing variables in the modern world.
The means of finding out what people think which was only available via the Internet is now ending. All the media are against it, all the powerful corporations are against it and now the entire government agencies in the western hemisphere are against it. Some would say that this is the inevitable result of freedom, it scares the crap out of everyone with any sort of vested interest in the perpetration of their ideals or way of life, and for corporate’s means that they can keep their prices high and not enter into any “unfair” practices like “free” music/software downloading or whatever.
Is it not strange that the modern “luddites”, see link below, has been stood on its head, It’s not the ordinary working man that’s frightened of these new machines but the very same people who introduced it in the first place but now realise that they can’t control it? This current attack on the use of the internet and who can see what, or who can access whatever is a political agenda and will be imposed on you soon, so don’t gripe about it, either accept it or live with it because you (the average Joe) don’t have any say in it, and never had, in spite of what you might believe.
