That's scary, especially with the narrowing interpretation of what "freedom" is. Nowadays it seems to mean, "The government tells you what to do and then you're 'free' to do it."
The problem here in the U.S. is that regulations and laws are put into the hands of agencies, which are immune from judicial review. Now, no agency can just step up and say, "from this day forward, we will arrest anyone who says something we don't like, and there's nothing you can do about it, because we are immune from judicial review." HOWEVER, in a legalistic society such as ours, where the spirit and intent of the law means absolutely nothing and the letter of the law is absolutely everything, all it takes to make something new illegal is to redefine something that already is illegal to include whatever else you want to outlaw. If I am the head of the DEA and I want to outlaw sweat socks, all I have to do is redefine marijuana as "a drug that comes from the cannabis plant, or a sock made for sports" and voila, sweat socks are now a Schedule I drug and a felony to own because they are now considered marijuana. That's a lot of power, and there's very little even in the Constitution that can protect from it.Last edited by GangGreen712; 04-29-2011, 02:16 PM."If the police have to come get you, they're bringing an @$$ kicking with them!"

Has anyone here even been to Britain?
Americans are paranoid because we're paying attention. Also, better educated doesn't mean "smarter."
Not to knock the Brits; they have a good culture, friendly people, and terrible food, but I would trade their lower crime society for our greater guarantees of individual freedom any day."If the police have to come get you, they're bringing an @$$ kicking with them!"
