But, apparently, it is illegal for me to do so.

As that is the case, let me just say, the UK military are NOT placing surface-to-air missile batteries on top of people's houses, without permission, which, if ever fired, would shower supersonic, hot, metallic shards over areas where civilians might be concentrated.

Because that would be irresponsible.

I love how the Olympics has become a means of repression.

I love how, when question on the matter, the response was "well China did it first" as if that makes it all ok.

That's pretty fucking crazy. Is there any way you can be in London and somewhat avoid this insanity? Or are you going to camp it out somewhere else?

Modeling yourself after harsh police states is in, Faust.  Get with the program.

I, for one, would be GLAD to see missile launchers on my roof and tanks in my streets, if it means I get to watch the triple jump event.  And ballroom dancing.

I hate to tell you Dok, but just because it'd be on your roof doesn't mean you'd get to play with it...

I know.  That is fun for younger men.  I just want to feel SAFE while I watch curling.

I intend to be in Central Europe when London decides to become The Most Militarized City in the World, 2012. 

This may not be far enough away, however.

Given today's date, I'd really like a helicopter on my roof.

Isn't there like, this rule of history which states something along the lines of - whenever any government uses the military to police their own population, epic lulz commence, or something like that?

You'll have to wait until 2014 in Russia for the Curling and Ice-skating.
