Has anyone else noticed that politicians are taking control of our money supply, our energy supply and our police force?
And has gotten it's nose inside every building in the country and is, year by year, making it easier to put people in jail without trial?

Thanks Dominic. Re: France and Germany, I had the lack of EU democracy on my mind. From a layman's perspective, the responses to current "crises" seem similar bordering on co-ordinated...

yes of course, have you also noticed that down in this little pearl of an ocean there is actually an LTTE cadget (or whatever is it) in the PARLIAMENT? and he also happens to be on the black list, a high profile criminal who is currenly being hunted by the british GOVT. THE IRONY!
but then again they are all the same....
its people like us, the simple minded ones, who put them up there and now we suffer! good thing im too young to vote else ill try to set fire to every voting booth and create a nation wide rampage against these fuckers...like i can anyways...hmph!

Thanks TLD.
Have you written about the Tigers anywhere? I would be interested to read your perspective.
the-living-dead
nah...ive never actually dedicated anything to the tigers and to be honest with you i dont even have an opinion as such. id rather not close my eyes and bliv one story because i really cant say what the truth is...
but i did write a poem about a never-ending war but that applies to everything not just this ridiculous thing thats been dragging for decades now...
but interesting "fact" i heard:
before the GOVT. plans an attack on an LTTE camp or whatever, they always make sure prabakaran is NOT there.
another:
the president gets a good load of pocket money every time the GOVT. purchases arms.
human rights are being stepped on and no one does anything about it. people in the media field are constantly under assault and tamil students at the SLCJ (journalism college) are being kept a tab on....:S sucks much??
try this, now the GOVT. is trying to make the NGOs look bad and there was even a bomb attached to a UN truck headed to the north east (i think) side...:S :S :S :S
bomb here, bomb there, bomb everywhere. last week there were three or so bombs right where i live...:S and my dads reaction when one of them went off was, "must be a bomb" and then he increases the volume of the TV. its almost pathetic...we've gotten used to tragedies so much that nothing seems to repulse us. but of course the war for those living in Colombo is not that bad (apart from the inflation and the horribly high cost of living and news of death and living in fear of the possibilities..public transport is an especial risk). if it wasnt the for the bombs and all the gunshots and sudden fights the war might even be a distant dream.
but then again it would be hard to ignore the GOVT. trying to evacuate all the tamils, bombs or no bombs...hmm...

There are rumours abound that slowly the goverments of certain countries are creeping towards martial law.

It has been happening for the last ten years, by another name it would be called communism, buying votes by creating and filling those jobs with folk that are dependent upon the government for their employment, thus, they must vote them back in. Turkeys don't vote for Christmas.
have anyone noticed that they don't take anything we don't give them the right to take?
metyu
Oh oh oh, Sir, over here, me, I have!
I also think they know how to manipulate what we give to them. I have in fact just been writing as Metyu the Conspiracist over here, http://bumface.blog.co.uk/2008/10/12/central-world-bank-4858577 and would be interested to get opinions.

As a government, you can't take over all at once, it's all to do with increments. What we would have rejected 20 years ago, we embrace now because seemingly insignificant precedents are set that stops us being able to protest.
I think you can see this in action in France and Germany too, without any hesitation (with a certain amount of glee in fact) they nationalise the struggling banks, as if they have been waiting for the moment. At least in the US there is still some discernment, some distrust of a large government. For many, however, it is enough to say "the government solved the Great Depression" when the reality is that all they did was get involved, whether or not it was solved by government action is still open to debate.
I digress.
As with the jailing laws - it is much more difficult to protest against a government imprisoning suspects for upto 90 days, when you have already allowed them to imprison them for 28.
It is much more difficult to protest the rise in the congestion charge when you've already allowed them to charge you in the first place.
The list goes on.
