  Freedom, fascism and oppression

  on Schmidt's 'Don't Do Stuff You Want To Keep Private' Sounds Like 'If You Aren't Doing Anything Wrong...'
  What always strikes me as odd is this: The USA was founded on the concept of freedom; the UK fought against fascism/oppression (as did others!!) and yet these two countries are now hell bent on curbing the one and introducing the other. At what point did the governments make the transition across the divide? and more to the point, why? Do those in power really believe they, the few, can control the lives of the many and for what purpose? The human condition is just plain odd......
