My British friend, Jeremy, sent a news story about the way UK police now have permission to hack into Brit's computers to determine what they are doing.

They have virtually lost their identity. The older Brits still make the sounds that you would expect from those who are proud of being British. The middle aged and younger Brits have lost sight of whom and what they were and are unable to determine whom and what they are or will be. I read somewhere that (I believe I remember this number correctly) 60%of all English school children think that Winston Churchill was an astronaut. <BR/><BR/>The American system is unique in the world. One of the primary reasons is that so few places in the world allow for the ownership of private property. Something we have lost sight of with the Endangered Species Act and other environmental regulations that overturn everything the Constitution represents. All the rest of the world has no idea how to create such a system of freedoms and still have checks and balances. I don’t believe freedoms as we understand them will never exist in most of these countries; they just don’t have any cultural concept for it. <BR/><BR/>RichRich Kozlovichhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13745960671409518147noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-196554259323465442.post-53096637123469796412009-01-02T10:15:00.000-08:002009-01-02T10:15:00.000-08:00As best as I can tell, both British and Australian...As best as I can tell, both British and Australian citizens have far fewer individual legal and formal protections in these nations than Americans take for granted.<BR/><BR/>Both nations have intensive bans on gun ownership, something that would cause a revolution if the U.S. Congress tried to impose a similar ban. We just had a landmark Supreme Court decision that overturned a gun ban in Washington, DC.<BR/><BR/>The protections afforded by the Bill of Rights still can get people's attention if it appears they are being dispensed with. <BR/><BR/>The Obama crowd is very anti-gun. Given all the problems with which they will have to deal, this is likely to be low on their "to do" list and would fail.Alan Carubahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10901162110385985193noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-196554259323465442.post-10190986107580826182009-01-02T10:06:00.000-08:002009-01-02T10:06:00.000-08:00Wow, the comments about the UK are very interestin...Wow, the comments about the UK are very interesting. I can't tell you how many times I hear people here in the US (usually left-wingers) make stupid comments like "well, in Europe, they .... (insert your socialist doctrine here)" .... trying to justify a new tax or a freedom grab, for example, the attack on smoking rights. <BR/><BR/>Our forefathers left Europe precisely because of what their government was doing to them there, and now it seems the leftists among us are hell bent on letting our government do it to us here. They would be wise to pay heed to the comments about the UK, because that's what's in store for us if we don't wake up.Guyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10903448394061019454noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-196554259323465442.post-12976989713233513552009-01-01T18:31:00.000-08:002009-01-01T18:31:00.000-08:00You are quite right - freedom in Britain ought to ...You are quite right - freedom in Britain ought to be 'freedom'. George Orwell's Nineteen Eighty Four book published in 1948 is a vision that is enveloping my country at a fast pace, not only via our masters in the EU dictatorship but the punative intrusions into private life from the UK 'government'.
