It is not until you visit another country with less Government rules and regulations, that you realise yourself how restricted and monitored we are in every day movement.

I get pissed at our big stick approach to the masses at times!

fukm if they cant take a joke I say!

Orwell and Huxley (and Alvin Toffler to a lesser extent) warned us. But no, we had to blissfully succumb to the embrace of big brother.

So, my new friend from Oz, what was it that set off your short rant?

So I have had a few trips to south east Asia, both on business and pleasure, they seem to have a more laid outlook on life, and just the simple fact of not being photographed by covet speed cameras, then being told these save lives, is one of life's little **** off`s here in Aust.

You need the Stealth Mode Kit for the Hawk. Cameras won't be able to see you!

Speed cameras set you off?

Dude, if speed cameras set you off then if you knew what was REALLY going on you would be "going postal". Try the guvmnt monitoring of cell phone conversations, electronically tracking us by our own gps units, keeping a tally of our credit card usage and where we spend and on what, internet transactions, even down to what brand of beer you buy for the game on Sunday.

It is a 'Brave New World' that we live in now. Either swallow your anger or participate in the rebellion. ('Scuse me, I have to leave. Two blacked out vans have just pulled onto the street where I live and have turned off their lights.)

you're likely suffering from delusions of grandeur son. Don't worry though, it will gradually become crystal clear, to a point where even the blind will be able to see.
