The problem is, when governments try to exert control on personal freedoms, they never stop at sorting out racial or religious disharmony.
They then try to consolidatate their position through legislation against those they percieve to be dangerous.

Those would be in Martins opinion,(Ithink) communists, trade unionists ,athiests and progressives of all sorts.
Those that I see as a danger, are capitalists and religeous nuts of all denominations.
So the problem seems insoluble

In my opinion,we need to work out if we want a future under the capitalist system, or something more in tune with the environment,which will envolve a long learning curve.

If we can determine a way forward which will make the lives of our grandchildren and great grandchildren happier and more fulfilling,
then we can put the controls in place to make it happen.

Until that time we should be very carefull about any repression of personal freedoms...Ake
