Political rant!

Of course, all this is is done in the name of 'The War On Terror' or whatever those in power see fit to frighten us with at the time. Also, if you have nothing to hide, you have nothing to fear. How about we all start fearing we may have to prove we have nothing to hide? Guilty until proven innocent seems to be the way it works these days! Probably the best way to put a stop to this would be Metagovernment. Sort of Democracy 2.0. The No. 10 Petition site is a token start on the way to this I guess, so use it! As the other overused phrase goes: Won't Someone Think Of The Children? But this time it's a plea to stop them growing up in a world with RFID implants and your every movement logged and analysed! Here's a forum post I made that discusses some of this urge for those in authority to control what the population says and does!

To close, I though I'd offer a bit of an explaination of the symbolism of the above poster. It's my updated version of the old WWII posters designed to get the population pulling together againt a common foe. Of course, having a crown at the top would be inappropriate, as that's a symbol of Her Majesty's Government. I am not by any means an anti Royalist, BTW. In fact I wish Her Majesty would send the whole government to The Tower Of London for treason! The text of the poster needs no explaination (Other than the pen or indeed email is mightier than the sword...) and the black background is a nod to the Anarchist's black flag. Of course instead of ruled by none, I'd advocate true rule by all!

Well, I hope you found this venting session both amusing and hopefully thought provoking. Here's hoping the future doesn't turn out as bleak as some think it could!
