I don't give up any more freedom than when I go to the grocery and pay my money for eggs. It has already been established that you have a very odd idea of what freedom is. Your version of "freedom" is much like what the old Soviet's idea of what democracy was. To them, they had a perfect Democracy. Everybody was required to vote and they had only one person to vote for. Great if you are part of the ruling elite. Less great if you are one of us peons. cc misc@ as it doesn't seem personal.
