[Reader-list] Britain To Put CCTV Cameras Inside Private Homes

[subhrodip sengupta]

This is a tale of lessons gone wrong.  Instead of rehabilitating children, one puts them under government is watching us (istead of god).
This is bound to bring in an overall insensitivity and harshness in the child, besides teaching him or her they are from problem families. And who gives these officials the right to supervise, read, intrude into other's affairs and lives, when the'd like to keep things confidential themselves. May be the individual needs to die for such crooks to survive, and rule the nation. This needs to be learnt why such policies can be undesirable, from moral of society as a whole, who r we to say some body is immoral if we do the same? Else, who knows, we may have papers lauding it, and such things like cam stripping in India.

Dear all,    Media can give spin to any story for it has enough blacksheep
in its fold, pimps and prostitutes have also a news paper to teach morals
and ethics of life and create thehelka, selectively, to selected political
parties, but it takes much more than five crores to catch the MP of the
oldest party.!

Conviction of MP RK Anand, now accusation on Buta singh and Virbhadra singh
are pointers which never came on the radar of these media men.!.But Bangaru
accepting one lakh for "new year party" as per the pimps words is big
thehelka.!
    Hoodwinking the supreme court in release of freezed amounts from London
bank by constitutional authorities, is no news for the thehelka.!

Regards,
Rajem
