Your list strikes me as bizarre, as I have all of the freedoms that you seem to be denied, except that you list one item that seems rather out of place: i.e. your desire to engage in public activity (e.g. commerce, banking) without being "observed" by the government.

There is no freedom from being publicly observed, as any highway patrolman will tell you as you blast down a public road.

So I suppose you apply this to library books as well. Why would a person mind if their reading habits are monitored?

One nearby city keeps secret police files on those speak out on Constitutional issues.

American citizens are losing their right to a jury trial and a lawyer.

Individually, there are good justifications for all of these facts. Collectively, they're profoundly disturbing.

The road to hell is paved with good intentions.

Patiot Act II should be out soon and the sunset provisions of Patriot Act I may be revoked in a few weeks.

Get the picture?
