Tubs Posted August 17, 2007 Posted August 17, 2007 Which of these two have increased over the years in line with increasing thuggish behaviour? I'll take this in isolation, if I may, as it's an interesting side issue. I think that "we" increasingly feel our liberties and our freedoms are being eroded by the nanny state a little too much, so we rebel by being rather more forthright and strident than we might otherwise be if we perceived that such "freedoms" weren't under pressure from an entity that it is almost impossible to directly rebel against. And yet it is we who create the these laws by electing a government to do what we fail to do as a collective. Even though it can be seen, time and time again, that government action doesn't work.
