Reminds me too much of the war in Vietnam ... "kill for peace."

I'm not willing to give up a shred of freedom for anything. That said, I 
don't define freedom as the right not to wear seatbelts (or motorcycle 
helmets). Those aren't freedoms ... freedom is deeper than that. Having to 
wade through an hour or two of airport security in order to travel to 
wherever I want would not be an infringement on my freedom, but being 
prevented from traveling in the first place because of things I've said, or 
beliefs I espouse, would be.
