It is not worth stubbing my toe, much less risking my life over.

Exactly the attitude that encourages the Police State. I'm fighting. You're whining.

You take a common, but not very useful view of the Police State: As long as they are violating the rights of (pick as many as you want): homosexuals, pot smokers, people with other skin colors, people richer than me, people poorer than me, people who live in the city/country/suburubs (i.e. where I don't), you are just fine with the Police State.

The fact is, all it takes is a small - say $200 - bribe to a confidential informant, and it's YOUR door they are breaking down. You WANT to live in a country that does that over something as innocuous as what that person chooses to put in their own body?

When the Army runs short of recruits because enough people figure out we live in an unfree nation, THEN someone might listen.
