I cant believe some of the things that I am reading in this thread.
Giving up our individual freedoms for the greater good is not a good thing. History is something that will always repeat it self.. As we pass through the history books we find pages and chapters that are filled with leaders that place restrictions on the citizens "for the greater good". In 1918 the Bolsheviks took over in Russia for the "greater good" of the people. Millions suffered and died. The KGB emerged, Gulags were filed, and the people were not allowed to even travel without permission.
The same was repeated in China, Germany, Cambodia and so on. If those are the type of governments you like, Go to N. Korea. Our Government will continue to erode the civil liberties of our citizens, someday we will look back and wonder what happened.
