There are so many things that we take for granted in society and other things we give undue attention. Many of us do not recognize the degree to which we have voluntarily given up several of our rights but are quick to protest any sembalnce of government infringement on our perceived freedoms. Take for example the freedoms we happily give to live in a subdivision while not actually realizing any personal benefits. When you chose to live in a subdivision you give away nearly all your rights as a homeowner because while you are paying the mortgage noone comes to offer you assistance but to make any changes to your property you have to ask for permmission from people who could careless if you make your mortageg payment or not. This is just mind boggling and yet we fail to recognize the lack of benefits actually living in a subdivision present. The bylaws of these subdivisions are so extensive that there is no legal recourse for you as the homeowner should you disagree with them.
