For a while now, my main fear has been of an Al Quaeda attack of some sort or another on innocent people, somewhere or another in the world.
Recent events here at home in the UK, however, now leave me more fearful of the unbelievable actions being taken by our own government, not just in isolated cases, but as it seems, in general.
Systems are in place within government departments which a 15 year old would recognise as totally inadequate for the security of our people and country.
And, what trust can we now have on proposed or already implemented introductions of ID cards, computerised medical records and similar systems of computerisation.
I suppose it was a bit much to have expected the human race to have determined optimum solutions and ensured optimum behaviors to everyday problems in just a few thousand years.
Based on past performance I now realise that we will be afflicted by more of the same for thousands of years to come.
