[kj] (OT) Dangerous Dancing?

[sade1]

So, intimidation is.. not so bad? We should be grateful that however things 
turn out, that we will never be as bad as Iran(?)

'Intimidation' is a lot better than the treatment others get at the hands of 
actual armies of occupation and less restrained police forces around the globe. 
I'd imagine there are plenty of people in, say, Iran who would relish the chance 
to get carted off to waste a few hours in a cell before being released largely 
undamaged.

As for keeping people in check, it's obviously not working. As demonstrated, 
youtube's full of people exercising their right to be 'unchecked' before telling 
the entire world about it. I don't see many of them becoming reluctant to open 
their mouths in future or resolving to stay 'off the radar' from now on. In 
fact, there are plenty who appear to make a living (or at least a reputation) 
from not being 'checked'.
