More women vote than men so, yes, we will continue to lose freedoms. Women value security above freedom. Too many wimpy men as well.

As long as people can still get their cigs and beer, sports are on the TV, and the electricity is still working, things will continue down this path.
It'll stop only when people are caused physical discomfort from the effects of the things they allow the politicians to do to us.

I think we are closer to atlas shrugged than 1984...although the over-riding presence of the government monitoring our every day lives is getting more prevelant all the time...

Apparently not you.
And we wonder how we've fallen so far.
Don't worry man, you're just like millions of others for whom liberty is just too much trouble to bother.
