You want no government controls. Right? I said that where? I'm taking about freedom. You can't have free societies without government controls unless you have a world population of saints. Think about it, Karen. A free society, by definition, is one where EVERYONE is free, not one in which some people are free to murder other people, the unfree ones. That's a given. It is the rightful place of the federal government to protect life and liberty. Government controls in excess of that constitute a loss of freedom. A country that forces women to wear a tent-like uniform or hauls off young men to serve in the military is less free than one that doesn't.
