Yes...we are losing our freedom...for the most part. The government will woo us into complacency if we allow it to. I still feel as though there is hope though and it depends upon each of us individually. I don't think together we are strong (or radical) enough to combat what they will present to us as an alternative to the fear of terrorism. Keep in mind that the collective consciousness is workable if a forum with a oneness of mind is achieved.
