None? Really?
During WWII would you have been willing to give up the freedom to buy as much gasoline as you could afford?
Would you have been willing to give up the freedom to eat meat in unlimited amounts?
Would you have been willing to give up the freedom to have as much sugar and eggs as you would like?
Most importantly, would you have been willing to give up the freedom to make your own decisions for the duration of the war and serve in the Armed Forces?
If Americans had not given up those freedoms in Dec. 1941, they would have precious little freedom today.
