Trading Liberty for Security
Timothy Birdnow
"In
the end, more than freedom, they wanted security. They wanted a
comfortable life, and they lost it all – security, comfort, and
freedom. When the Athenians finally wanted not to give to society but
for society to give to them, when the freedom they wished for most was
freedom from responsibility,
~ Edward Gibbon on ancient Athens
"Those who would give up essential Liberty, to purchase a little temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety."
Benjamin Franklin
This sounds exactly like modern America, no?
