Wow. And this is probably where the discuss ends, because we in America value
*FREEDOM* and *LIBERTY*. It is the basis for our existence, and why further
debate is pointless. You welcome government telling you what you can and cannot
do. We have a Constitution that tells the government what it can and cannot do
*to us*. It is a huge difference.
I'm glad you consider yourself lucky; but it is not the American Way.
