Well all I know is that I enjoyed a helluva lot more freedoms just 15 years ago and a lot freedoms just 20 years ago... So no the government doesn't look out for my freedom, it takes it away in the name of the collective good.

You have to look after your own liberty. Depend on government to do it and you'll be a slave in no time. +5 Doyler

Of course they look after it. They need to know where we're keeping it so they may continue stealing it from us.

They're most efficacious in that regard. They look after it high and low, in an effort to deprive me of it.

I think they think they do.... however, as always, the Labour Party forgets we are able to manage the minutia of our own lives without them.
