What ever happened to our support for freedom?

We have pressed our political representatives to legislate safety in the form of helmets (not only for motorcycle riders but bicycles riders as well) and in laws to suppress smoking and the sale and possession of firearms. And I do not mean to focus on those as being unreasonable because some of them are not. I really just want you readers to think of items similar to those that you are aware of and know about. Recently, I hear more and more of people wanting to decide what others should be able to eat. I mean... are we really going to ask our representatives to pass a law that will stop a fat person from ordering a "Big Mac" and fries. Some townships in California have already dictated the menus in a couple of fast food restaurants. This is really getting out of hand people and we need to put an end to it and concentrate on more serious issues affecting our society. What about being more concerned about having the freedom to do things that we want to do without interference from others? Will anyone even join me in sticking up for our freedom or are we all just going to rollover and put our collective behinds up into the air and our heads in the sand?
