Here at Aussienomics, we endeavor to shed light on economic truth, as expressed via the Austrian School of Economics.  As anyone studying economics knows, you cannot separate economics and politics.  In a way, economics is the theory and politics is the practice.  Or like in the Godfather part III, "You understand guns.  Finance is a gun.  Politics, is knowing when to pull the trigger."  If you've read some of my previous articles, you know by now that I like to comment on the economic-political nexus.  Austrian economics advocates free market capitalism (as in free from government intervention), private property rights, the right of privacy, private contracts and an individual's natural rights... that the most good is accomplished between individuals if all of the aforementioned rights and practices are respected and defended by individuals and the government they elect to represent them.  

Now I'm in no fairy land, we don't live in such a world today, and for the most part we learn to tolerate the gradual erosion of our freedom in exchange for the perception of security, while still in deception of liberty.  In reality, the governments of this world are moving towards a greater and tighter control of individual lives in the name of some legitimate or fabricated 'greater good' that they are apparently elected to preserve.  However, once in a while, a government policy comes around that is truly evil.  So evil, that it entices us to believe that this legislation was born in hell itself due to its sheer cruelty and malevolence.  I present to you such an abomination: http://gizmodo.com/5328825/britain-putting-cctv-cameras-in-homes-to-make-sure-kids-do-their-homework

They are going to setup CCTV cameras, within the UK, in public housing to ensure kids do their homework and accomplish other activities that will be mandated by the state.  Do I even need to articulate the malicious nature of this proposal?  What about when they put up CCTV cameras to monitor your financial dealings, relationship with your husband/wife/children, what you say in reaction to the news on your television, what your browse on the internet etc.  

This is horrible precedent and an unconscionable violation of privacy and morality, I invite you to express your outrage here.
