Thanks for posting that second link. Not to go too far off topic, but I've been thinking about that same loss of freedom lately. See, here (as probably with everywhere else) we have a property tax. If you don't pay your property tax they will take away your property (car, house, land). Funny thing is, the U.S. Constitution - I'm sure you've heard it mentioned once or twice here - says, right in the text "No man shall be deprived of life, liberty, or property without due process of law." So, they put a tax on property and call it "due process". I call it a government-sanctioned protection racket. So why not a 'Liberty Tax?' "Give us money or go to jail"! 'Life Tax?' Sometimes I think the only reason they don't have those is that they know we wouldn't stand for it. Another bloody revolution.

But a 'Property Tax'? That we'll take lying down. It's just a little liberty.
