re: Bigger Brother?

@ Julian:

You're forgetting that the libertarian nuts that haunt the Comment pages here all view "private sector good, government bad" as axiomatic. In other words, if a bunch of people we can vote out does something because they believe it'll be popular and get them re-elected then it's Bad, whereas when a bunch of people we have no say over do something because it'll increase revenue, profitability or EBITDA then it's Good.

Do try and keep up, there's a good fellow.
