Everyone likes his/her freedom. We don't like the government telling us that we can't do things. But our freedoms are necessarily getting more restricted all the time---as our population increases, as we depend more upon one another and as our government finds it necessary to spend more for general welfare. There has been resistance to any reduction of our liberties, including speed restrictions, use of drugs, gun control, helmets for motorcyclists, bans on smoking in public places, required automobile liability insurance; and now we have proposals for required medical insurance and for elimination of texting while driving.
