You are committing the Socialist Worker's Party fallacy of equationg lack of economic means with governmental restraints. Most people don't have the "freedom" (as you call it) to counter Rush Limbaugh or Dianne Sawyer. (Actually, they have the freedom, just not the money.)

I'm primarily assigning degrees of importance that Laz, NJ_G and perhaps you disagree with me on, that's all.

I do what I can to reduce my taxes, which is a DIRECT and DELETERIOUS encroachment on my real personal freedom.

Any effort spent on that, in my opinion, is more effective at preserving my freedom and the freedom of my children than on complaining about a SC ruling against a druggie defended by the ACLU.

It's my personal opinion, and I encourage your action to overcome this ruling....good for y'all. But no need to tell me I'm a friggin ostrich, or Socialist or that I welcome my new overlords or anything like that.

Before Y2K, I was sympathetic to the Alex Jones' warning of the impending police lockdown. But now I think there's far more important (insidious and imperceptable) things to be worried about.
