Things I read Jan 10, 2009 - More police state

'Things I read' has a purpose: for those who have few hours, many responsibilities and still wish to be aware of the hard hunted stories which just do not seem to fit into the busy budget of time in family, work and entertainment modes.
They are the, 'I didn't hear about that', stories, in many cases. Whatever your reason for reading them, whether to keep up on the obscure, or to follow current info on themes you are interested in, I hope you will have a pleasant and/or enlightening read.

Today's theme is on the impinging police state, the little by little measures being implemented for us all globally which extinguish our civil rights. Bits and pieces are added to the collection. Soon, I will corrolate all these 'bits' into a major blog: I am so dreading it. We are like frogs being boiled slowly. Let us jump before it is too late.
