I'm pretty sure by the time I die, I'm 20 now, Americans will have almost no freedoms left. Both the left and the right in this country care about getting what they want on any particular issue, regardless of freedom. People should have the freedom to property, unless of course they have a pot plant that can't harm ANYONE. The right (and I shouldn't even call them that because they aren't anymore) just creates excuses why this time its ok to circumvent our freedoms. When you cheer on the criminalization of behaviors that are annoying, or self destructive, who do you think is going to give a **** when you get busted for something as equally pointless. The difference between Fascism and Communism is just a rich middle class, one that still lives in fear from an oppressive government.

BTW who do you think you are, that you are so important that you shouldn't be bothered, and if you are he who did it should be punished extremely.

How about a sensible law, like if your music can be heard 50 yards away, everyone who can hear the music gets 10 bucks from the offender.

Thanks for the reply. You have to understand that much of what is said in these forums is just hot air. Somewhere in my 56 years of living someone once said to me, "Believe nothing that you hear and only half of what you see." I would place the printed word in the same category as things you hear. My elderly father-in-law, a tough old west Texas cowboy, once told me with misty eyes that he regretted most the freedoms he had lost during his lifetime (1910s to 1990s). Regretfully we can almost be assured that as humans are pressed closer and closer together with population growth, more freedom will be lost and more laws will be passed to try and maintain fairness in the distribution of the few freedoms that still remain.

The knowledge of freedoms lost within a generation is usually lost to the next generation because each generation rarely listens to their parents about these sorts of things. Maybe this is a good thing or we would go mad if we could see the whole picture.
