Another Mystery...

Why is it that Western technology is 21st century but Western politics is mid 20th with residues of late 19th? The incompetent dysfunctional lumbering leviathan State is still the prime mover and source of all that is good and true - (yeah right.) State worship is alive and well (in a virulent sort of way) casting a dark shadow on progress and enlightenment freedom and liberty.

A British citizen is less politically free today than his forbears were 150 years ago. He is taxed in his comings and goings in ways which a century and a half ago would have been regarded as inconceivable and downright unconscionable. This is back to the future with a vengeance.

Where, as I have asked recently, is the latter day William Wilberforce who will free the people from the shackles of State slavery?

State monopoly on education has mass produced statist mentalities working through government agencies to promote liberal pro totalitarian mindsets in the people and their vested interests will be very hard to counter so entrenched and fixed are they.
