I read the news and I wonder what is happening to my home country of Sweden. Since I left there has been suggestions to store all sms traffic, to listen to all digital traffic crossing the nation’s borders, and now in the latest attempt to breach the integrity of the Swedes, the social authorities suggested to keep record of all kids below 18 that are overweight. What is next? To register how much alcohol each person buys in the government controlled stores so that doctors could be alarmed of unhealthy consumption?
George Orwell’s 1984 should be mandatory reading for future generations of Swedes so that people realize that for each step in this direction, no matter how well intended, we are heading for a big brother society.

Hahah, then they will record how many Burgers you eat in a year, and you'll be sued for that !!!! :p
Maybe I could be paid by the Swedish government to denounce you about Burger contests and parties....
Don't worry man, at some point people will react !!! as usual ...
That's what I'm dreading, "Sorry Mr Adonis, we can see that your cheesburgerconsumption is too high to make you eligible for health insurance." You'd better keep your mouth shut Lionel!
It's just ridiculous that a country like Sweden would be the first western country to (at least publicly) pursue such monitoring in the name of the terrorist threat..
