+ <description><p>Civil liberties and privacy in the western world are going down the
+drain, and it is hard to fight against it. I try to do my best, but
+time is limited. I hope you do your best too. A few years ago I came
+across a marvellous drawing by
+<a href="http://www.claybennett.com/about.html">Clay Bennett</a>
+visualising some of what is going on.

+<p>Do you feel safe at the airport? I do not. Do you feel safe when
+you see a surveillance camera? I do not. Do you feel safe when you
+leave electronic traces of your behaviour and opinions? I do not. I
+just remember <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Panopticon">the
+Panopticom</a>, and can not help help to think that we are slowly
+transforming our society to a huge Panopticom on our own.</p>
