Well maybe you need to do a bit more research into it freeOn, there are still plenty of people concerned over these issues. Yes maybe the tabloid news has run with it for a bit and dropped it, but the civil rights activists are still debating these issues as intensely/fresh as 0day. You need to widen your search a bit.

Here is a nice lil story about the Canucks (Canadians) kicking their governments BigBrother **** in the proverbial bollocks.

slight aside:
Freedom seems to exist somewhere between two extreme poles
Anarchy/Chaos/Social Breakdown and BigBrother Control . As you tend towards either ends of these two! freedom/free speech/civil liberties somehow appear to be threatened.
