Is it 1984?
Perhaps a bit OT, but ....
Ok so we know the boys in blue can sieze cars and suspend licenses for anything they deem "stunt driving" at their sole discretion - latest one I heard was "standing" on a motorcycle to stretch your legs
And they are armed with tazers to use, again at their sole discretion (fortunately this is under review)
But more from the "authorities" in yesterday's paper:
-court intervenes, won't let father discipline 12 year-old daughter by disallowing her to go on elementary school trip
-elementary school threatens to take daughter from mother after pyschic has vision
-Senate passes bill prohibiting spanking
-adults banned from smoking in cars with children under the age of 16 in the vehicle
Not saying I agree or disagree with any of these individually or whether they are right or wrong, but add them altogether and it sure seems a little too "big brother" to me.
... rant over

I gotta agree with the last one Pete...
but i can't wait for the day a cruiser pulls along side a rider on the 401 doing a 100 km/hr, winds down the window and tazers him for stretching his legs.....

There is no dought in my mind that we are in 1984.....
North America is one of the most(in the "free" world) represive place to live...all the "rules" are hidden in such a way that we do not realise how policed we are..
