"Your comments about surveillance societies and the attempt to blame them on Liberal values is a bit of a hoot"
Lindy — (archived)

Bwaaaa...muahhaha

Robert got you there by the gonads Tom:

>"Your comments about surveillance societies and the attempt to blame them on Liberal values is a bit of a hoot, coming from a member of a political party that's based its success in recent years entirely on fearmongering to scare people into giving up their freedom in exchange for assurances of security and safety. You say you see governments setting up cameras and invading the privacy of their citizens in various ways, but you're oddly reluctant to go the full distance and mention just which governments are doing that. The first culprit to come to everybody's mind is your beloved George W. Bush, followed closely by Bush poodle Tony Blair's England. Bush soulmate Vladimir Putin belongs in the same authoritarian rogue's gallery. Which societies that we'd consider Liberal are engaging in this fundamentally authoritarian practice?"

Worth repeating. Thank you Robert.
