Your first mistake is assuming that most people agree with you.
Your second mistake is believing that government is the protector of individual freedom. Instead, government is one of the greatest enemies to individual freedom. Even this country's Founding Fathers knew this; for example, Benjamin Franklin said, "The man who trades freedom for security does not deserve, nor will he ever receive either."
" -- It is generally agreed that the most important single function of government is to secure the rights and freedoms of individual citizens."

I agree, along with the author, that protecting individual rights is the main function of government, and that our Constitution so mandates.
