I just read an interesting op-ed piece about our loss of freedoms - most importantly about our willingness to give it away. Here is a short quote:
"Liberty has always been a tougher sell than many of us assume. We all want the freedom to do as we like, but few of us are as committed to allowing others to act contrary to our notion of right and wrong."
"there is nothing new about threats to Individual liberty being a daily part of our lives. What is new is that the institutional barriers to regulating our daily lives have effectively broken down. It took a Constitutional Amendment to pass prohibition of alcohol (and repeal it). Who today expects a Constitutional fight over smoking, obesity, trans-fats, or any of the myriad personal issues now under the purview of government control?"
If there is anyone out there who still valuse fredom - not just your own, but for everyone, this is a though provokiing read.
