Try being a second class individual in a country without these sorts of freedoms...then maybe you'll appreciate the freedom that government gives us. . . .

@Stormieweather & Happy Monkey:
This is a political philosophy discussion. It's about the interaction of a stable gov't, with the people in it.

It can't begin to cover a situation like they have in Somalia, or emergency responders, etc.

@Juniper, yes. My idea of Conservatism (True Conservatism), is to go back to the gov't described in the Constitution - not all this current gov't, with an agency for everything under the sun.

Libertarians and I agree on this: gov't has become FAR too intrusive, in our daily lives, and we've become FAR too used to having it that way.
