How soon a freed-man forgets that from which he was once freed.
That he forgets immediately after an event designed to ensure that freed-men and women are fewer in number than ever before further defies reason.

Its funny how my comment after the London bombering has ended up across the whole internet. But I stand by it because it is the best choice of 2 bad options. The civil liberties I were refering to were things like being able to tap into emails and telephone conversations. The comment made in July 2005 was not supposed to be a full endorsement of any proposed anti terror legistation by the government 6 months later.
