As with most things, when they get around to doing it to us, we’ll call it what it is. Of course, by then it will be too late.
That's entirely my point.
Too much is lost when you stand still when injustice is done to others
, especially when you're talking of a government that holds you in so ill regard.
In matters of liberty, and morality, it is far better to err on the side of caution than to allow it for expedience's sake… especially for espedience's sake: that is often the method by which liberty is lost: because we need to do morally-/legally-ambiguous-or-prohibited X, now. (No time to read the bill, we need to pass it now. No time to make the law constitutional, we've got to justify this [no-knock warrants, speech-laws, etc] now.)
