I would love to just grab a big piece of land, and raise my children how *I* see fit without worrying if the neighbors don't approve, practice the religion that *I* want to practice without having people call me a fucking heathen, and generally just do what this country was founded on... have my own freedom of choice without having to worry about what Society as a whole thinks of me or some old whorebag getting her Depends off-kilter and calling in the thought police (aka Child Services or any number of Gov't programs who just come into your house and ruin your life based on mere accusations of anonymous people)...

But here's the thing.
Move out to the middle of a big piece of land where you can do whatever the fuck you want without people bothering you, and then you become *more* of a target. The FBI creates a folder on you, they start asking around town how often you come down to buy groceries, what exactly you buy, etc etc and before you know it you've got some tanks and a few snipers sitting outside of your house demanding that you come out with your hands up...

I must go now. A black helicopter just flew into my living room and there's a Visa rep hanging out of the side of it with a bullhorn.
