My ancestors were Puritans from England. They arrived here in 1648 in the hope of finding greater restrictions than were permissible under English law at that time.

Your Puritans would be very at home in modern Britain, which is fast becoming a surveillance society with our civil liberties under constant attack (in the name of the War on Terror) and our behaviour subject to a torrent of petty laws.
Example? Wearing a t-shirt with 'Bollocks to Blair' on it (a perfectly reasonable and restrained sentiment) will get you a fine - against which you have no appeal - on the sunny side of $150.
