Schiavo and Liberty

I was glad to see that the husband of Terry Schiavo was vindicated in the autopsy results. Whether or not the results had come out the way they ultimately did, I still find myself terribly disturbed by the erosion of personal liberty in this country and the apparent lack of a voice standing up for personal liberty. I say to the government, I will pay my taxes and obey the laws. Just stay out of my house and my personal matters. Does anybody else miss this emphasis? Democrats? Republicans? Somebody?
