I have to work. Fine, I don't share your definition of freedom. Conversely, you don't share my priorities. I happen to live in a place where there is more latitude to do as I please and more opportunity than almost any place else on the planet -- and we remain a target of some very bad people. I, for one, appreciate and admire the guys who work to keep us safe.
Enjoy being less free than your grandparents. Enjoy selling your grandchildren into soviet-style slavery. Talk about selfish, though.
