You said it exactly.  We are seriously being led to “safety” and dependency and we aren’t even putting up a fight.  At least not a very hard fight.  And while we fight against some obvious freedoms being taken, like freedom of speech or to bear arms, we are more than willing to give up our freedom in other areas in order to Make people be safe. 

Interestingly enough Latter-Day Saints will agree with a law being unconstitutional until the Seat Belt law is mentioned.  At that point, they are willing to let the law dictate their behavior in the name of safety.  I always find this fascinating, as it might be a good idea and a choice we should make.  But it still should be a free choice and not a mandate by law.

We can no longer determine for our selves what is safe and what is not.  We must do as we are told by the law.  And we comply willingly, because we believe they are right and we are more safe by having the law.  So we willing give up our freedom to the law which is supposed to keep us safe.  Rather than keep our freedom and choose for ourselves what is right and wrong on this issue or other issues.

Freedom vs safety.  I vote for Freedom.  And I hope others do as well or we truly will be led into submission of our every thought and deed.
