Isn`t our democracy a hybrid? Partially open and democratic and partially like fascism or stalinism?
Do you know who knows everything about you?
Could be your neighbour. Or your sister.

The government has a right to know who you are</EM>”.

This fine expression of democratic sentiment was not uttered by any despot with a Napoleon complex. It was said, wait for it, by one Mr Andy Burnham, the Culture Secretary of the British Government. When a member of the British Cabinet advances such views in a notional democracy we all need to very worried.</P></blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/4D1F0DFF-7479-4EE8-9D80-02CABACC9B64/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content7.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
