Inconveniences for fighting terrorists vs inconveniences to satisfy government

Two weeks after 9/11 I flew on a flight that had been scheduled several weeks before 9/11. We were all searched....but I don't recall how thoroughly. It didn't matter because it was for the good. We ... the handful of passengers on board... applauded the pilot on landing . We were safe.

Between then and now I have been searched and researched at airports and it still doesn't bother me. To me it is a small inconvenience in the fight against terrorism. I will however ... object to being searched by the "x-ray machine". There is a line that I consider crosses over into my rights and is no longer a mere inconvenience.

Should the day come that my right to choose which health care I want to cover me is taken away... by the government....that would be a huge inconvenience to me.

Should the day come that I might fortunately make a huge amount of profit in my business...... and the government says "sorry.... we will take that and use it for the public good".... that will be a huge inconvenience to me.

Should the day come that my right to choose which car I drive is taken away because the government says I pollute too much driving that car... that would be a huge inconvenience.

The day has already come that a permit is required by government for anything I wish to do on my own personal property....no matter how large or small.....making me wonder who really owns this property....property that is already so highly taxed ...by government.

Each permit required... each "regulation".... is an erosion of our freedoms.

What inconveniences are you ready to bear for the sake of government that you don't already?
