To all those willing to give up privacy for

Will you also give up your weapons for "security"?

Will you also allow FEMA to take your food because you're hoarding?

Will you also allow the powers that be to tell you where to work ? where to sleep? how much you can eat? how many children you can have, etc etc etc ad nauseaum.

It amazes me what sheep we have become. It's hard to believe we are the decendants of a rag tag group that rose up and told King George to shove it, we will die before you push us around. Ole George would be amazed if he could see us now. Oh well. I guess when cameras are on every street corner in the U.S., I'll start to worry.

you're right... the government is sick and unjust ... the "privacy reduction" will most undoubtedly lead only to oppression.

plus all of those laws would have to be worked out to individual settings ...which... under righteous law... would be torn between freedom and regulation. ........
.....errr....I guess all law is like that.... errr... maybe not all....

anyway,
though, I still firmly believe in "privacy reduction" ... as it is where scum breeds

I will hold back on my opinion untill "government" is righteous ... either that or untill a way is found to turn "privacy reduction" against them. ....The government.

What kind of weapons do you have, and why do you think you need them?

Why are you hoarding food? Are you imagining some society destroying event?

Are they doing that now, or are you imagining some kind of critical event? Because at the moment, nobody's telling me to do any of this stuff. I eat so much now I have to diet. And I see families with more kids than they know what to do with.

I think you have your paranoid goggles strapped on a little tight.

Is somebody running your life now and telling you what to do? Other than your spouse, I mean. Here's a little test. Go out and try to do something you really want to do. See who stops you. As long as you're not blowing up Federal Buildings, or starting your own crystal meth cartel, I bet you'll be surprised at how much you can do, how much money you can make, how much food you can eat, and how many kids you can have, without anybody saying "boo" to you.

Interesting thoughts here.I just have this to say.Anytime you place your fate in someone elses hands you have given up your freedom of choice.

starting your own crystal meth cartel,

I don't see why that is a problem... what happened to freedom?

a righteous government would never outlaw such a thing.

Well, I suppose if you intended to start a crystal meth cartel, then you definitely would be opposed to anybody wanting to take away your guns. They go together like biscuits and gravy. Although I hear that stuff makes you lose your appetite, so you wouldn't need to hoard as much food.
