[pp.int.general] Big Brother in NL?

Over the last days, an increasing resistance to road princing plans in NL 
became apparent. A major right wing newspaper campaigns against th road 
pricing plans. Some people believe that this is just a tax increase in 
disguise, intended to make car owners (user) even more than today (cars are 
already a cashcow for tax). But there is also an increasing prinvacy 
awareness.

So perhaps we can kill two birds with one stone:
1. At last, get privacy awareness in this country (NL is seriously 
underdeveloped in that respect)
2. Getiing right wing people in, who usually foster a "law and order" idea, 
with the perception "if you don't have anything to hide, you don't have 
anything to fear" (which is of course COMPLETE nonsense, but people don't 
udnerstand the risk of identity theft).
