You make excellent points...and I agree. There is in the nature of societies, a desire to control others' behavior.
Yes, we have that in our society, and I disagree with some drug laws.
Now back to important issues such as life and death and the protection, no - survival of our less-than-perfect form of constitutional government.
If we're dead, we can't continue the great experiment in self government; and we can't continue to improve it. That's my bottom line.

Their biggest victory killed about .001% of us and took out a few buildings. My bottom line is that out of fear we have ceased to try to improve, in fact going the opposite direction.

You cheapen the sacrifice of the millions of men and women who have served and died in defense of our liberty with your comments.
Thank God that someone in America has always been, and will always be willing to fight to preserve the rights that you would so cavalierly surrender in order to FEEL safe.
