16. Vigilancw is about the only hope.

There are signs all over the Métro in Paris, the U-Bahn in Berlin, I suspect in the Tube in London as well. They refer to bombs left in gym bags, but the posters could refer to ordinary citizens seeing or hearing about creeping measure to restrict and abolish liberty cut by cut: "If you see something, say something." City council meeting? Go. Say something. Town Hall being held by ANYBODY? Go. Say something. Have a local newspaper? Write them a letter. If they don't publish it, write them another, and get everyone you know who feels the same way to do the same thing. One person? You'll get squashed. A solid group of dedicated people? Not so easily.
