Why is it that republicans want to privatize everything except privacy?

With the Schiavo case, the gov't is getting involved in what should have been a private family matter.

The gov't is also trying to force itself into gay and lesbian lives, telling them what they can and cannot do with their lives (don't ask, don't tell).

The PATRIOT ACT has on numerous occasions permitted the government to invade people's private lives. It has been used against far more than terrorism.

Why is it that the gov't is trying to control every aspect of the Schiavo case, but then does not want to fund the very programs, such as Medicare/Medicaid, that would pay for Schiavo to survive in the Hospice?

I have heard Bush say many times 'It's your money. You can spend it better than the government.'

What about my time? How can the gov't know better than me what I should do with my life?

How about the Government starts by privatizing privacy?
