In a democracy (ooh, sounding a little political here but bear with me) folks don't lose their freedoms to the sound of jackboots and dictators, but they disappear very slowly, one at a time, so yah don't notice it. A loud pipe here, a cigarette there, a haggis elsewhere (what, you didn't know haggis is a banned substance?) Then one day you wake up and find you and your neighbors are wearing jackboots and wondering where it all went.
Siggy
