We are witnessing a way of life vanishing.., the American Way of Life. The freedom of life your father and his mother and her father lived. Freedom is little more then an illusion now. For, government, all government from town to county to state to federal, has suffocated the liberty that our Founding Fathers laid down and the freedom that so, so many Americans have died for.
