Talking of police state: Not only this thread but U.K is on its way to become a police state. Storing of email is just beginning. But there is a new one added this week. As per a new law enacted last week, now all school officials should monitor their students and report to the government. Here is a part of the law "if a student is late or fails to submit as assignment" he/she should be notified. This goes for every activity in schools such as late to class, absence from class, poor grade etc. It seems the teachers union is opposing this measure but there are teachers who are more than willing to do faithful reporting. One teacher from a reputed university already reported the absence of one student on the first day to class. I am not sure whether it is for students from outside UK or for all. Orwell must be really happy to have his dream come true.!

"Enlightened dictatorship"? TJ, you are showing lack of logic. That is an oxymoron, ipso facto, ultra vires, casus belli, infra vide, caveat emptor, habeas corpus, inter alia, That thinking is why China can never rise to more than a low cost servant to free people whi should not be mistaken for Americans. These days, freedom is in short supply everywhere, with citizen-serfs subject to patriot acts or close analogues even in England where freedom was invented [sort of, more or less, give or take a bit but now Big Brother looms large.
