I don't see any rights we've lost. The aclu is a greater threat to this country than our government.
I wasn't trying to make that comparison, as to which posed a greater risk. I was probing the extent of government action that would in fact constitute a loss of rights. I hypothesized an all-seeing Big Brother, and concluded that such an entity would not impinge my rights. I can think of lots of government incursions that are a pain to comply with, but am having a hard time coming up with a realisitic fact pattern that constitutes a violation of my rights. I don't expect to be quartering the military or a minder, and short of that, as long as I am free to move about (even if I have to show papers or other proof of meeting regulations), what right is lost?
