That saying you quoted.....while it sounds wonderful, we're already being STRIPPED each and every day of MORE of the Freedoms we've come to know. Sorry but I think your wrong headed as hell on this one. And the rest of us ARE already giving up a LOT so THEY can feel normal and trusted. I'm glad your okay with being treated that way....most aren't!!!!! And to address your other comment about the police coming to make sure your all safe, aren't you ALL already well versed in " sheltering in place" while the POPO keep you whole?????
eliminating all the off topic nonsense and other unrelated personal comments...
you are allowing fear of people that look different to you to dominate your feeling of safety. You are incorrect when you say the rest of us would gladly trade the freedoms, that I am limiting to this conversation, for false security.
But on a personal level, I already knew your feelings about taking away these freedoms from me, and I am always surprised that you will contradict yourself all over the place on other threads with rants about not trusting government.
While I don't share your bile toward government, I certainly share your desire to limit its ability to legally enter my privacy when I have done nothing to arouse suspicion...other than possibly looking enough like scary ethnic types...
for your sake, better hope they don't decide to profile white Christian males (stop on the street, pull over for "routine questioning, search you and/or your vehicle, check email accounts and sites visited) in an effort to make us "free" of mass murder attacks in schools and malls.
