Freedom- True or Truce

I kive in a Country that speaks of Being The Land of The Free and The Home of The Brave. Lately, I feel inundated with all the Laws that are here for my protection. No, matter where I turn there is a law, or there is the Law. Freedom seems to be an illusion of the Matrix.

For protection of oneself or protection of other people's liabilities?

It seems that the more freedom we are supposed to enjoy, the more legislation there is to protect us- more often than not this infringes upon the freedom we had in the first place!
My advice would be- just go for it. Sooner or later you'll encounter someone who doesn't like what you're doing, and will challenge you. Thankfully, the Human Rights laws will allow you to keep on doing it. Oh, wait, does that only apply to criminals?
I get sooo confused.

I agree - it sometimes feels as though we go through life wearing straitjackets !!

yes, but the straitjacket would also have a built in lifejacket, just in case!!
Now, all I need is to find a grown up to help me get it out of the plastic bag.
