UK has the highest public surveillance (stress: NOT COVERT) due to a high profile and sustained terrorist bombing campaign in England & Ireland.
Largest majority of cameras are in shops=private property. We are capitalists, so theft of merchandise is bad!
Other cameras are speed cameras on roads - nothing to fear if you are law abiding.
I admit I don't like the cameras, but that's only because they may witness me/people like me transgressing the archaic laws that contravene my personal liberty. That is what Liberty and similar groups should be targetting.
With the greatest respect, the invasions of privacy people on all sides of the Atlantic could do with checking their priorities. As someone who was minutes away from the biggest carbomb in England, I can see the use of surveillance.
India is a both a democracy and a player in World Free Trade, a concept which is close to the hearts of many in the US.
No-one will sell them UTD rocket technology, so they have to develop their own. US rocket development was kick started by captured Nazi technology post WWII, so it doesn't seem fair to criticise them for using existing technology as a base. Given their progress in other fields, I don't think it will be a rocket-backwater for long.
If they can develop a space-economy, then there will be much more money to spend on rebuilding Gujarat. I wish them luck in modernising a nation of nearly 1bn souls.
It was never the scientists but the Government who claimed that a lack of evidence of danger constituted a lack of danger. This is the same line that US "scientists" (i.e. vested interests and export lobby) are taking with US hormone treated beef exports...
These people don't care whether you or your children get sick or die. You're helping them by blaming someone else.
Besides, this is about the effects of pollution - of which the US is #1 producer in the world. But of course that doesn't matter, because the US is the richest nation in the world. But of course your Government is lying to you over these matters too. Aren't they? I mean, 250,000,000 people can't all think that they have a right to foul it up for everyone else in the world...could they?

Do we know what the racial mix of the sample was? I'd be interested to see what ratios are in the sample and population.

"Like those who are poor enough will have access to such technology"

One western life costs X dollars per year to support = 379 3rd world lives.
The point is, when rich western lives are extended, it costs more (consumption, pollution, exploitation) in terms of shortened 3rd world lives.
The real danger, no offence, is people who choose not to see past the end of their nose...
