A key theme in
Americana is that we are free from the intrusion of government to the
maximum extent possible, ceding our freedoms only to the extent that it is
essential to assure order--the safety of our citizens and their property from
assaults from each other or from the government.

That's a nice theoretical statement.

It is no longer true. And legislators no longer believe it, however much they may mouth it.
