[QUOTE="wkmac, post: 840856, member: 2189"] OT: But it does pertain to elections, just the one in Spain taking place today. Over the last week or so I've been keeping up with the growing protests in Spain that some describe as a growing revolution.

With all the authoritarian programs in place under the guise to "protect us" from terrorism, how far would big brother go if we follow the Spanish's lead? [/QUOTE]
