What freedoms are we losing?

Well, when I was growing up you did not get fined for not wearing a seat belt. In fact, you could ride in the back of a truck.

We used to be able to go camping in the National Forests.

Many of our campgrounds have been closed by environmental nazis.

We used to be able to get a job without someone testing our bodily fluids.

We used to be able to burn wood in our back yard.

We used to be able to buy a 5 gallon toilet so that we would not have to deal with the disgusting and unsanitary ones that they have now.

If you want the full list your computer will need a 17 terabyte drive.

Okay, okay, I guess being only 20 yrs of age, I wouldn't understand.

Nevertheless, where I live, we can burn as much wood as we want in our backyard. I live out of the city limits. Everyone in my neighborhood has a burnpile.

I guess the reason I ask is that most people word it as if to say "During the Bush Administration...we've lost all our freedoms" rather than a gradual erosion. That's what the Europeans say when calling Bush "Hitler."

If you want the full list ...

LOL!! Man, I'm not certain I want to see the 'full list'. LOL! (But it'd be cool to have it just the same)

We are so wonderfully blessed. Life is not perfect, and it's never been without irritation.

Take a deep breath and choose to be thankful, just for today, for the freedoms we have rather than scratching around for something to complain about.

Oops. A chicken metaphor. Sorry.
