Security and Freedom

Freedom is risky. In a perfectly controlled society, we could have perfect security but at the price of almost all of our hard won freedoms.

Those who wish to tilt the balance towards perfect security should consider these two quotations:

Those willing to give up a little liberty for a little security deserve neither security nor liberty.
Benjamin Franklin

Isn't it clear that terrorists want to destroy our freedom, and when we trash our liberties, we do their work for them?
David Cameron - Leader of the British Conservative Party

There isn't much else to say!
