ARE YOU MENTAL?

Well George Orwell's 1984 was not that far out when he imagined a future society. We now are living in the most monitored society in Europe, it won't take long before books are burnt and people report neighbours for crimes against society. I have such a cheerful outlook on life

So who is "Watching the Watchmen" Father Ted?

You could always do a Michael Jackson in Bahrain approach..

wear a full abaya, he did and for a while, people thought he was a female in traditional dress. Either way, you would be fully covered, not recognisable and generally other people will not approach or speak to you as it's haram (forbidden).

Shukran habibi.

That, my friend, is the question.
It should be society, but we seem to have taken our eye off them.

Don't know who it was who said, " A country gets the government it deserves".

I like me quotes as well Ted, but I think
"They who can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety" is generally attributed to Benjamin Franklin.
And George Bernard Shaw said:
"Democracy is a device that ensures we shall be governed no better than we deserve"

And George Carlin said:

AH! YOu are right! It was Franklin..I was close

I didn't know it was Shaw who said that, I had heard it (paraphrased) on the radio and quite liked it. One i used with all those people who don't vote but complain about the government.

I have a wifii connected robot built from a wheelchair and it has night vision, video capability and remote operation (sadly my programming skills suck, so it isn't fully autonomous yet...
I can patrol my yard or my house from the internet!

I wanted to arm it with a full auto paintball gun and habenaro filled paintballs, but my wife won't let me.

she thinks the dog, and his firend (apparently he's made friends with a skunk) are sufficient deterrents.
