more and more I notice that the police are bullies...they hire them younger and younger...they don't have the maturity and they enjoy the thrill of power...they abuse it plain and simple...

The other thing we need to keep in mind that in a couple days, this grows to be pure fiction. I just needed a diving board to launch the story. It wasn't meant to be a running commentary on current life.

Re:
I have a friend in London, England and he tells me that GB is four years ahead of America in its destruction. He told me just a week ago that it was far more common to hear a conversation in an arabic language than in English any more. The Europe of just a few years ago is almost gone.

No tanks here, much more real freedom and actually apart from some media hype, much more tolerance of each other. I am sad that the Conservatives lost power but the new Gov. well we shall see.
No where will ever be Utopia but there is not the same hate for the opposition here and in Australia as I read in your country. Not so much fear. Not so much my way or bang you're gone.
I really like you as a writer and a person. It is fun to learn about how a different culture gives us a different perspective on life and how the best and worst of our life's experiences can affect us.

Re:
Not sure how it is in Canada just yet but the police... some police, not saying all... are becoming more and more militarized. Our small county... population of 44,000... has two TANKS. I've lived here for 60+ years and I've never seen a reason for the police to have ONE tank, let alone two. The local sheriff of my county is a friend of mine and he tells me that the federal government is pushing law enforcement offices to take this type of equipment at the risk of losing federal funding if they refuse. I'm not 'anti-cop,' just anti setting up to fight the civilians. The world I knew just a few short years ago is no longer visible to me. Everything has changed and none of it for the better.
