America made a decision about two months ago. We all got together--or, actually, about 63 percent of us got together--and unfortunately decided that we wanted a nanny state and would march forth, hand-in-hand and foot-in-mouth, toward totalitarianism.

The latter, of course, would do away with whatever self-reliance was left following the New Deal with his "War on Poverty."

What is your definition of a "surveillance society" ? It is probably not the same as Home Secretary Jacqui Smith's still secret definition. Home Secretary Jacqui Smith, like her Labour party fellow travellers, seems to be spewing Orwellian doublethink and newspeak, where normal sounding English words, have their meanings utterly reversed, without displaying any sense of shame, or pang of conscience, at their perversion.
