Our government now tells us:

1) How fast we can run water down the drain.
2) What kind of toilet we can sit on.
3) What kind of cars we can drive.
4) What kind of firearms we can own.
5) What type of light bulbs we can use in our houses.
6) Where our children will go to school.
7) What kind of medicines we are allowed to take.
8) What kind of fuel we can put in our car.
9) If/when we are allowed to burn in our fireplaces (Sacramento County).

But, other than that, we have an unobtrusive, limited government that stays out of the details of our lives. Anyone care to add to my list?

It's ok, tho. Badeye doesn't believe we've lost any 'freedoms', thank goodness! =P
