Spies like us.

What is it about human kind? Many of us are innately driven to spy on our fellow humans. Not only in the interests of group security (which may be justified in some circumstances, since our species seems to naturally spawn dangerously evil desire in defective minds)... but also, simply because we CAN!

The habit affects us in all walks of life. Particularly rife in politics and business, it is doubtless driven by power-lust, pre-occupation with secrecy, envy and meglomania. More often than not, the only fruit it bears is intense embarrassment for the perpetrator(s), as is the case today with Australia as a corporate entity in its relationship with Indonesia.

My reaction is ... serves us bloody right!
