Dwight,

I do understand a little about what you are saying. America is supposed to be the land of the free, but it doesn't seem all that free anymore. You know I don't relish the fact that law enforcement has to go to the extent they have to sometimes. But, you know this country does have a tremendous drug and violent crime problem. As the population continues to grow and people get more and more crowded together in some places, crime is a huge problem. Balancing the need for public safety and personal freedoms is not an easy task. But, you know at the end of the day, you can thank the criminals and sometimes the lawyers for the eroding personal freedoms. Law enforcement is out there trying to maintain order and arrest criminals that prey on innocent and sometimes defenseless citizens. And on some fronts they are losing. If there were no such thing as drugs, criminals, and terrorists, we could enjoy enormous personal freedoms. So, lets not lose sight of who is causing these problems in the first place.
