Are We Losing Control Of Our Lives?

[Sunrising]

It seems to me legislation is taking control of our lives, (a nanny state) for example alcohol laws, smoking taxes, pornography, and diet, spring to mind. Is it time to stand up, and voice our concerns, and regain our freedom?

A. Yes Legislation is eroding our freedom.

B. No Legislation is not eroding our freedom.

WE HAVEN'T CONTROL OF OUR LIVES WITH THE QUESTIONS ON GAG'S! THIS QUESTION WAS FOR SOCIETY AND POLITICS AND I'VE BEEN OVERRULED.

Why didn't you say anything about this 50 years ago when it started happening? Democrats have been taxing and regulating us to death forever. Republicans try to fight it back and Democrats keep coming back with more and more and more. Alcohol and pornography laws aren't nearly as important as what they do with our phones, our drivers licenses, our employment, our ability to start a business, our schools, and on and on and on.

If you have a functioning brain, you are always in control. The issue is that people are too quick to attribute their mistakes to other people or outside factors.

We perhaps rely on our politicians to make the right decisions for us, because we are too busy living our lives. For example working 12 hour shifts, dealing with our relationships, and families etc. This is the control I mean.

I understand your sentiments completely, and I have also changed the topic to Society & Politics.

I think enough people need to push back/ speak up not sure if we are there yet but if we don't get there soon we're going to lose whatever freedom we have left.

Yes we certainly are at the moment.
