Then you are not really free. You're perceiving freedom. When basic rights are being changed your societies freedom can never be the same.
You cant teach one thing and change it. When you let one freedom go another one being taken is already around the corner. The entire point of government is to "control". To control absolutely everything. The further you allow government to control the more they WILL control.
Life/Death are a risk everyday. The fear and potential of anything is always there. The more things you put in place from stopping the natural cycle of life is the more time you waste not truly being free.
The Americans/Canadians and some European countries put ourselves in this situation. Peace is possible if we choose it.
Fear alone is just invented in your brain. It does not have to exist. To me not fearing is truly living. Living in fear and trying to cause an un natural perceived "balance" to me is not free at all.
