Hello there Allan.
I am liking the reference to Freedom.
Our privacy, independence, liberty and human rights have been violated and taken little by little.
The "justification" is always said to be "for our own good" but it is not.
A person without privacy, independence, freedom and the right to choose for his or her self is just a slave.
Most of the people throughout history were enslaved by arrogant and omnipotent rulers and masters of one sort or another and were forced to toil and suffer for the benefit of those who basically owned them.
Eventually enough people demanded freedom and rebelled against tyranny.
Subsequent generations have forgotten the past and allowed what their ancestors fought and often died for to be taken from them little by little.
The omnipotent busybodies who want to rule everyone else have become bolder and more aggressive now because they see how meek, weak and obsequiously obedient most people have become.
The lack of resistance to the draconian violations of our privacy, independence, freedom and lives is proof that most people seem willing to become slaves to the elites in commerce and politics.
