I hate to say it, but I am rather embarrassed, not to be an American, but to be one of many Americans who have been gullible enough to become ruled by the empirical government of America. We have become enslaved without even realizing how much. Roosevelt started it with his new deal and then each subsequent ruler has slowly expanded the governments reach into the daily lives of the citizens. Why are people upset now? Obama went too fast! People took notice because "change" happened too quickly. Clinton even warned him that he was moving too fast.

Just a quick question - Is it the role of the government to keep us safe from terrorists and those who would do us harm? Or to force us to wear seat belts?
