Church--
That bit about
Big Brother in London is pretty scary! those statistics SCREAM
Something's Wrong--This Ain't Right!!! Thanks for sharing this info w/us here. i really don't think
that many Americans are aware of this, DO YA'LL?!? at least, not down here in the "Bible-Belt" of the South! LOL!! Be interesting to compare
these numbers with
similar stats from the States, since the Patriot Act. Have you any idea how they might compare, Church? cause
typically i think of Europe as being "more enlightened" than the States ..... not "more backward."
(no offense
my fellow-Americans! and guess maybe i ALSO need to say the same to
my European sisters & brothers!!)
