I don't want to throw out the baby with the bath water. Freedom entails risk, and I'd rather endure some risk than live in a world of Big Brother. Those who say "I'll give up freedom to ensure my safety" end up with neither...

Well said. Freedom entails risk. True, we don't want to get to the point where we're so paranoid and such a police state, in an effort to reduce our risks to zero, that we no longer have freedom at the end of the process. That would no longer be America.

Two quotes come to mind......

Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other.

President John Adams

Those who would give up essential liberty to purchase a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety.

Benjamin Franklin
