An all too familiar problem... ;)

I find this recent trend towards 'bio control' really scary, e.g. the language that is used in the promotion of 'mosquitoes'. Example:

('medical' control?)

With all these CCTV cameras about that probably created (!) the phenomenon of 'hoodies', it would be good if teenagers would be 'allowed' a space where they could escape control freaks of all kind. Even when you are not a teenager, there seems to be fewer spaces in urbanised areas where you can truly relax - you always feel watched. Who knows that if you unconsciouly poke your nose or kiss your girlfriend it might end up on youtube...
On the other hand, it does make people inventive - and more angry and distrustful of the state and their attitude towards human rights.

there is a slightly bigger version of this (steerable!) which i came across at a trade fair in geneva...

This is actually a very normal sight for German meat eaters. They've funny-faced sausage meats for decades!

Maybe that's what has turned me vegetarian?!
