"So you have given up your freedom to people whom you believe know better than you how you should run your life." That happened the first time I got behind the wheel of a car. I'm prolly still alive because "they" control such activities. Other than my destination, I'm pretty much controlled by "them". "They" also wouldn't let me take my daughter out for a drink until she turned 21. "Freedom" is an illusion. It never existed, not even in the 13 Colonies, where women weren't free to vote, black people weren't free to own black people, and red people weren't counted. Back then, it just meant there was still land you could move to with no restraints. All that ended about the same time Davydavycrockett 1, King of the Wild Frontier, was removed from his throne by Santa Ana. If you really think you are free, try putting an outhouse in your backyard. "When they cease to serve us and start doing whatever they want, then they are a rogue government " Yup; describes the Republicans in Congress to a T. "We now have a rogue government that in many ways is directly violating our Constitutional rights." Nope; we have a rogue party that doesn't want a government.
