Ah yes, good old Ben. In context, he was dead on the money! We lose liberties every year, or so it seems. A few examples are:

Seat belts are forced on people by the government. First they started with the driver, then both front seat passengers, now, in TN, everyone in the vehicle must wear them.

Motorcycle riders must wear helmets in many states.

Smokers are not allowed to smoke in their own homes in some states.

In some states, only cops and criminals can carry guns.

Those laws bother me more than the government monitoring phone calls and emails that involve people from other countries. It's a different day.
