As to your other examples of how the government taking away freedoms one by one, and people becoming used to it, so that it's "no big deal", I agree. This is how freedom disappears... a little bit at a time, until it doesn't exist at all anymore.

It's the same way you boil a live frog. If you drop it in hot water, it will jump out, so you put it in cold water, and slowly heat it up until the frog boils. Smart governments work the same way. Each little step will be "no big deal", a "yawn", and after a few decades they control everything.



People who think like you do are exactly the kind of people that governments love....
