Are you willing to be enslaved?

Left Coast Rebel has posted some comments from Canadians (What the Canadians are Saying About Danny Williams and U.S Healthcare) about their health care.  It points up what happens to people's thinking who have lived in a "nanny state" environment for a few generations.

When you take away the freedom of people to make decisions for themselves, you eventually rob people of the will and incentive to do so.  It  becomes a form of slavery.  The known, even if it is bad, becomes preferable to the unknown. Our lives become meaningless and purpose becomes a  memory.

Our founders agreed that certain rights were bestowed on us by our creator and not by the government.  It's an important point that needs to be remembered lest we become slaves to the government that is supposed to do "our will" - not theirs.
