A baldfaced grab for power

Article from the Manchester guardian:

Safe in our Cages

This is a horrifying concept. Who decides what constitutes proper usage? Who can possibly imagine black suits showing up at the front door because your usage "pattern" has changed. What the hell business is it of anyone's if I choose to change my patterns? So I don't read science blogs today and instead am reading the OCU website? So what?

This is a baldfaced and outright grab for absolute oversight and power by politicos and their minions. Foisting the "war on terror" repeatedly on the public gives them leave to institute draconian measures that violate civil rights and our privacy. In the name of "safety" they take our liberties and spy on our private lives.

It is beyond the possibility of my imagination to believe that any guvmunt entity which is given this type of power will not abuse it. Rather, abuse follows as sunset follows the day. There can be no arguing about that as it has been demonstrated time and time again throughout history.

Other than the pursuit of power and self gratification, what use does this proposal have in reality? None. Believing they can find "terrorists" by sifting through millions of usage records is just plain stupid. In light of that, I do not think that is the end purpose of this gross monstrosity. I firmly believe it is nothing more, nor less, than an outright grab for power.

If someone can give me a better explanation, please do...
