Just taking a look at the headlines today makes me wonder if our personal freedoms are retreating and a new age of government intervention is upon us.
- IRS targeting political groups. - DA's and FBI believe they can read all personal Emails. - NSA tracking all communications. - Secret subpoena's obtaining news organization phone calls.
Add to the list if you find any other examples of our personal freedoms eroding here in the states.
"Is life so dear, or peace so sweet, as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery? Forbid it, Almighty God! I know not what course others may take; but as for me, give me liberty or give me death!"~Patrick Henry, March 23, 1775, Speech to the Virginia House of Burgesses
How I long for the days when I was not being tracked, googled, IM, Linked IN, Facebooked, GPS Map Quest, check-in, check-out, tagged, tweeted or any of the other tracking programs.
Just give me an A.M. radio tied to my bike and road to travel.
I really do think that we are giving up a lot of our personal freedoms in the name of safety which can be a little dangerous given how quickly that information could be turned against us.

One can not profess to be of "GOD" and show intolerence and prejudice towards the beliefs of others.
