Oh, you will not be. You will be growing up with a group who is more than willing to give anything up for the sake of government. For the government has the job to "take care of everyone right" so who needs individual liberty or freedom? Clearly only evil people who only care about themselves would want that. What is really being created here is mindless drones who will ultimately bow down below the almighty STATE, for the state is GOD! Why do you think yet another part of the erosion of our nations heritage has been the wilting away of religion? If there is no GOD then where does man get his rights? If there is no GOD what is man, simply another beast. If this is true than what is the true ultimate power in the universe, GOVERNMENT! Currently, God endows man with rights that we hold dear in the Constitution, we LEND these to the government in exchange for defense. However without God we possess nothing to lend and at that point we are merely owned by the state. If you study pre WWII Germany you will find the exact same things being done for the same reasons. The only difference now is that they are cloaked under the names of freedom, liberty, diversity and happiness; however, it is too a sad that to a growing number of people these words really are a replacement for tyranny.
