Big Brother is watching over you!

A topic for today is Moral Policing, and do we need them? According to me...NO....I mean comeon, till we were 18, we had our parents controlling us, and then, we are "legally" allowed to go out and be free, wear full pants and what do we get? Some people acting like legal gods, or moral policing, No this is bad, no that is immoral??? I mean, who or what gives them the right to ban what we want to see or do? or better still, who gives them the right to even get the idea that they can try to restrict our movements towards the path of "their pre-conceived notion of morality"....Preaching morality is agreeable, not enforcing it....

Age old dictum.....but then when King Vikramaditya used to go among his subjects disguised to get a feel of his kingdom, he was hailed to be one of the greatest statesman.

But then today this issue of anyone watching over us including our parents is unthinkable. The problem comes when we have got stuff to hide and the person watching have something to gain from watching us.

Nobody watches today for actually policing or making the world a better place to live; bah! but it is done only for personal gains and making money. No one cares for morality issues. Its just an excuse to please voter banks or some PR gimmick or even worse to satisfy sexual frustration.
