I saw this the other day in Bountiful, Utah. Ok, so some one is obviously upset about wearing their seat belt. They obviously think that it is infringing on our rights. They obviously have a lot of time on their hands.

As dumb as I think it is that someone would complain about something like this, I understand what they were going for.  It got me thinking, just how much freedom do we have?

When I was in Denver they had just passed the same law that they passed in California making it illigal to smoke in bars and restaurants. Why not just leave it up to the owners of the bar and giving them the choice to make it smoking or non. There were plenty of bars that I went to that were non smoking and I was happy to go outside and smoke. Did the government really need to step in and make it a law?

I just read this one yesterday

“The new policy allows random warrantless search and seizures at the border.  Under ACTA, border patrol agents will be able to seize peoples’ laptops, iPods, and other electronics which they suspect contain illegally-obtained media.  If the border patrol thinks they’ve found such media on the devices, they are authorized to destroy them at their discretion.”

Does it seem like our freedom is being skewed into something else, something a little less free?
