I suspected we might be, but I'm not sure about that "violent" part :-)

While I am generally liberal and equally subscribe to the philosophy of a
basic need for social welfare programs, I've never been sure why it was
necessary to give up our rights in the maintenance of same. 

Of what benefit to providing for the "security" of Americans against crime,
for example, are the newest and most privacy-invasive laws? How, to further
elaborate, are the interests of society served by maintaining a database of
information on law abiding citizens, either through financial institutions
or motor vehicle records?
