Dear 69torus, Peter Gabriel record for Human Rights is incredible, he continues to take action in many different circles & has written many inspiring tunes also with regards Human Rights, unfortunately you appear to not have the Wisdom to percieve this as you come across blinded by your Anger & stupidity, I suggest you swop that for some Wisdom & compassion, yours most sincerely Keith.

You're addressing a typical and brain-dead American audience. The people who elect a Wall St. puppet all based on the shaky premise of "change". The brain-dead populace that endorsed Bush's ("god told me to strike Iraq") "war". The braind-dead American populace who can't even think for themselves. I think you're full of shit Mr. Gabriel. You and your "bigger" brother.

yes, "what if" Peter? Why not camera's on every streetcorner? Bring on retinal ID, bodyscans, and MORE cameras...LOT'S of camera's Pete, yeah, that's the ticket. Mr Gabriel? Ever since 9/11 the world has been further degraded. Imperial wars of conquest launched on the filthy premise of a stinking lie! Ironically, the technological innovation that allowed for mass murder to be televised that day hasn't changed a thing. You're a technophile, and that's fine....It ain't gonna' change shit.
