"Use of litigation to control peoples behavior. Smoking. Soon eating." You're absolutely right. I have freedom of choice covered in several points and we should all have the freedom to be responsible for our choices. I love to BBQ but soon that will be illegal in many places. I can't live without red meat...I guess I'll die soon because if many have their way that will be denied also...

Freedom to work -- and to send your children to work, if they are uninterested in schooling but talented in cabinetry or dependable bike couriers or truly awesome pianists.

"Government seizure of private land for the "public good". Thanks. I think I may have that covered in the erosion of property rights but I'll consider it some more. Its an issue close to my heart.

Dear Cornpone: Good news. All you loss of "freedoms" is a little circus going on between your ears. The events you list probably have not really occured and don't be expecting to go to Heaven, cause crybabies automatically go to the other place.

>>Increasing restrictions on traditional methods of outdoor cooking
This one baffled me--most of the others I could see where you were going with them. What methods do you mean? Asking because I really haven't a clue. Pig roasts or something similar?

Burn Bans
Here in Washington State we used to be able to burn outdoors whenever we wanted. Certainly can understand a ban in the summer, however, we have bans now for air quality.

Charcoal grilling. Illegal in many places in Europe and recently considered for outlawing in some parts of the States...like parts of California.

Really? Wow, didn't know that. Guess my little Weber will become pretty useless if they decide to do that in my neck of libbie CA. Nothing tastes like charcoal grilling.
Just one more reason to move the heck outta dodge...

All the issues I've identified have already come to be realized. I think the failure to recognize reality is perhaps a circus occurring in front of someone's blind eyes...wake up or you will find yourself where crybabies go...you'll be crying all the way.

I seem to remember talk of banning charcoal somewhere. I am not sure where or when this was.

I remember driving around WSU during the burn season (whenever that normally is/was for the farmers in the Palouse). Always kind of freaked me out to be honest--I used to work for the Park Service in the summers, so I'd see a big smoke plume and get worked up thinking "Oh crap, Forest Fire". Then I'd remember, "oh it must be burn season for the farmers, never mind".

Encroachment on the constitutional right to assemblyExamples please.
To: Kleon
How about messing with the minds of our children by advocating and encouraging the tolerance and experimentation of homosexual life styles in government schools, which is abhorent to the tax paying parents of those children?
To: Vicki
We owned six acres in northern Illinois with over fifty oaks. This was our front yard and we had to have it all bagged and removed because of the march of government tyranny. We moved to Wisconsin to enjoy the trees and the freedom to burn. Now the Nazis are starting to clamp down on it here.

Vehicle emmissions testing. After paying property tax, registration and license fees. The state wants to check your emmisions on your car. If your car fails,it costs about 500.00 to fix your car(the garage has to do the work)to meet emmission standards. You cannot fix the problem yourself (this would cost you less than 150.00). If you have two cars, it could cost you about 1000.00 if they both fail.
