While checking out the link to the Mediocracy site, I found a piece which echoes much of the sort of thing we write about here, about the attempts to re-define Liberty in the UK.
Dr. Tassano notes:
The transformation from old-liberty (= right not to be interfered with) to new liberty (= right to be interfered with) takes place, as Dr Brown showed us, in 13 easy steps.
Read the whole thing. We'll add him to our regular reads.
