Our founding fathers were justifiably suspicious of the very government they were creating, and the radical document they set down has stood the test of time. All the more impressive that the French, who take great pride in their cartesian spirit, are already on their 5'th republic since the revolution and still haven't quite gotten it quite right! There is a certain unfortunate tendency in lawmaking, as if the creation of enough laws will protect us from having to think for ourselves or critically about events in the future. It sounds like a sensible idea to ban pornography, monitor and cleanse the internet of revisionist literature, or register all firearms. But the real price of freedom is eternal vigilance. It's really the only working attitude that can effectively deal with the unpredictability of the future.
