    [QUOTE=Board Game Geek;877452]Perhaps the services should write to such people and say :

    "seeing as you find our involvement from time to time in your life such a tedious chore, we have decided to honour your request at peace and privacy.

    We will no longer respond if your car gets stolen, your house gets burgled, your property catches fire, you have a heart attack, etc.

    The West Midlands police have already adopted this policy. It's just that they haven't written to advise anyone.......

      Well obviously, writing to people is an infringement of their peace of privacy, innit ?
      Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

        I take it you have no problem with the proliferation of speed cameras, either?

          Did you really? And did you shout "No Future!"?
