re: Is this feeling what the Jews felt in Germany???

I agree that our freedoms are gradually being chipped away. But, there are reasons. I remember when people could pull up to a gasoline pump, take the hosed fill up, walking into the store and paying the bill. When enough dishonest drivers discovered that they could drive away and not pay began to take their dishonest toll, along comes rules which made everybody have to pay first, or use a card to guarantee payment. This example could be applied to hundreds of ways humans have throttled their freedoms. And so, it goes on and on.....
