You can have a great economy and still have limited rights. Just look at China. Is that who we really want to be?
Let's put it to a vote nationally.
option 1: Gas is $1.50 a gallon and you have to show your driver's license every time you fly (like you've had to for the last 15 or so years that I can rememeber)
option 2: Gas is $5 a gallon and you can walk through security with no ID.
Which do you think would win the election?
Our civil liberties here are light years ahead of China, and to compare the two is absolutely silly. When was the last time we ran over our own citizens with tanks, or regulated the amount of children a couple could have?
