I find, for myself, the most irritating aspect of "public entities" stripping people of their rights is the fact that they do so with your money. Think about it. The only thing that allows their miserable existance is that you and I trade our abitlities, intellligence, and time with another therby creating production with gives us the neat little "certificates" that are suppose to verify our production's worth to society in order to be freely exchanged (supposedly willingly) with another for what they produce that we need or want. These certificates, however, are scraped from the top of what is owed to us for our efforts to pay for "public interests". Then from there are distributed and allocated at the whim of a complete stranger, and unfortunately is spent in many cases on things you or I neither care for or ever use for that matter. So for ANY public entity to exist and then presume to take away my personal liberties is insult to injury in it's highest form and should not be tolerated. As bad as it sounds, it has become clear to me some time ago that a lot of the problem lies in the fact that so many, because of their positions and actions, do not deserve the liberties once afforded them by our ancestors. Am I wrong in thinking this? That those that would intentionally strip others of their freedoms, knowing full well what the premises of their actions are, are nothing more than criminals and deserve nothing less than incaceration? I will concede complete ignorance as an excuse, but that usually is only valid for your average person who hasn't necessarily been shown or have seen the light, so to speak. I, however, would have a very hard time believing that those in "positions of power" are so ignorant in these things.
