united-states-flag-640It bothers me a lot, and moreso lately, that we are losing so many of our freedoms and the majority of people don’t seem to care. As I said in a previous post this newest generation does not care, even the generation before it doesn’t. Apathetic and dumb, they let the government do whatever they want saying they don’t care, they want change. Well they’re getting it. There are a small group that do and have been trying to make a stand, but they are of an older generation. What happened to the younger ones stepping up. Oh right they don’t care and can’t be arsed to put out the effort.

Good example is this article, and this article. Now regardless of how often it happens the fact is they can still seize your personal property for x amount of time with little or no cause at all. If they find something they don’t like they can fine you or imprison you, and ok sure it has caught some shady people but for those that aren’t guilty of anything they lose out. It’s private data. It’s not a case of oh well if you don’t do anything shady you are safe, that’s not the point. It’s the fact that they can seize your hard earned property without any warning at all. This came along with the “Patriot Act”.
Granted it doesn’t happen THAT often now, but who’s to say that won’t change. They can and will do it under the guise that it’s for your own protection and safety.

New policies like this continue to crop up all over the place. The come with the “justified” reason of “We’re catching the bad guys” “We do it to stop terrorism”. Sure… it might catch that 1 in a million person that is trying to cause physical harm to everyone, but that is just an excuse, a ruse, to put everyone’s mind at ease while they steal freedoms left and right. The more they put into law these acts and new regulations the more freedoms we give up.

Got any examples of current acts that are trying to be passed or have passed that just rub you the wrong way?
