Sure, I'm big on freedom too. But it's harder or easier to do freedom depending on who's at the helm of the behemoth that exists whether we like it or not.

And you may say (and I agree 100%) that our freedom is a birthright, so attempting to restrict it is immoral and unethical... there are politicians who agree with you and I, they are a minority at the moment, probably because people like you & I and I guess most of us here want power to change ourselves and our circumstances, not to rule and lord over others.. so we have little interest in politics.

Unfortunately though, politics has a lot of interest in us..
