Why do Americans so easily give up their freedom....little by little?

Question

In Communist China..they are allowed to stop you/search your bags anytime..is this also allowed in America?
Why did cops in NYC search my bag on the subway for NO reason?

I'm just a young girl minding my own business. Its a new rule/law/whatever of random stop and search in subways and buses.

Subway has 1000s of entrances that terrorists can get thru with no detection. Does Bush think manning only a handful of entrances is going to stop a terrorist?

Soon the govt will have the right to stop me anytime anywhere to seach my bag for NO APPARENT REASON. I was just WALKING for godsake! What is this..Communist China?

MEANWHILE, MEXICAN AND CANADIAN BORDERS ARE WIDE OPEN!! WHO'S MANNING THE BORDERS . This is like trying to kill cancer cells by targeting cancer cells, meanwhile smoking and drinking excessively at the same time.
WTF?

Answer 1

I don't entirely agree with your logic. I don't feel I've given anything up.
Why do you think there's been no more terrorist attacks since 911? Obviously the gov. is doing something right. It's not perfect, it can never be, but to compare it to Communist China is ludicrous.
As far as the borders are concerned that is being addressed with passports. By 2008 you will need one to get into the USA.
