From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Dear Tim, I hope a large number of people on the forum took the trouble to read your most informative document.It is particularly useful to us in the U.K. be cause we are usually one step behind the U.S.and as a consequence could become forearmed,having been forewarned by courageous people such as yourself. Usually an optimist I'm afraid I am a little fearful with reference to the impact your statements may have here in the U.K. Freedoms are being eroded here all the time,unobserved by the majority,who blindly move on in the most appalling of attitudes -one of total apathy ! Before too long we will all be in the same boat,dictated to by an outspoken minority, who attain their power by the attitude mentioned.You must feel the absolute helplessness of the situation,I know I do,and there was an illustration just today of what is facing us. A small businessman and local Community Leader was held by the police for over 6 hours because he held his daughters wrists in an attempt to stop her from joining a party (so called) as he believed he was protecting her from drug abuse.She complained to the police and he was taken into custody -his crime, protecting his own daughter by restraint represented assault.She is 15 and can command this kind of power over her own father.Only when she asked the police to drop charges was he released.Do gooders, social services etc, just love interfering in other peoples lives,the more respectable they are the better they like it ! This country is going down the same route as yours at an escalating rate,might even overtake you unless someone of prominence stands up and cries STOP ! Remember the show "Stop the World I want to get off", sounded like a crazy title when it came out - it's becoming more relevent by the day. Best of luck to you Tim you deserve a huge pat on the back,much appreciated ! Regards Alf.Powell --------------------------- ONElist Sponsor ---------------------------- ONElist now has T-SHIRTS!
