I understand both of your views MTC and Desposable...I get where you're coming from completely.

However, we're already being watched just about everywhere we go in public...there are cameras in just about every store that you go into...and the cameras that are on streetlights or in tollboths...are simply there to make sure you're paying your tolls and not running red lights. I don't find anything wrong with that.

I would DEFINATELY take issue with people coming into my home and monitoring my phone calls,etc. However, I can't live my life worrying about what the government will do next.

No matter what country I live in, there are always going to be things that I disagree with gov't wise. Unless I have my own private island, somebody is always going to make rules that I'm subjected to follow. It's not always fair...and it's not always right...but that's just the way it is.

If we didn't have alot of the rules we have, the country would be worse off in alot of ways I'm sure. We've got a lot of freedom here...more so than in alot of other places in the world. I mean, seriously...people risk their lives to live here. We take alot for granted b/c we're used to it....we bitch and complain about things that people in other parts of the world would think we're crazy for complaining about.

I think that we have it pretty good in general. When you see how people live in other countries (not that it doesn't happen here as well) it makes you feel pretty grateful for what you DO have. If it ever got to the point that I felt like my privacy was really being infringed upon....I'd leave.

However, you don't have free reign to do everything you want, or have all the rights you feel you're entitled to, no matter where you live. If you did....that would just be scary, wouldn't it? If we didn't have any rules...imagine the chaos that would ensue then. It would be FAR worse than how bad we THINK we have it now.
