Not just whistling Orwell…

Yes, I’m still alive–just been really busy…

So, I ran across a disturbing article a few days ago.  Many people worried about encroachment on our basic liberties, including myself, tend to throw around the term Orwellian a lot.  A new proposal in the UK though takes it to a new level.  They actually want to put 24/7 video surveillance inside the homes of the “worst” families.  All that’s missing is the monitor showing the face of Big Brother.  The UK has become the surveillance society but seriously, what the hell?
