So don't you say the only purpose of government is to protect us, and if so, then aren't you giving up some freedom?

Nope, I (and you) are actually gaining freedom. The purpose of government is to protect the rights of the individule from the tyranny of the majority. What YOU are after is the submission of the individule through the force of the majority. Huge difference, Med.
With all due respect, Med ... If you think about what I just said long enough, you will gain an understanding as to the disasters that socialism has caused down through the ages.
