our freedom's are being slowly eroded because of the "war on terrorism","war on drugs","global warming", etc. take your pick - and we are told that this is part and parcel of today's reality.
There is no such thing as absolute, unrestricted freedom. If any state was created in which such a thing was promised I would not want to live there. Humans, as social animals, will always find their freedom restricted by the competing interests of other human beings. Short of moving to a deserted island with no other people absolute freedom is impossible. Instead equitable and fair, a balance of restrictions on freedom so that no given individual is less free than another individual in the community is a valid goal.
