William Wallace: Aye, fight and you may die, run, and you'll live... at least a while. And dying in your beds, many years from now, would you be willin' to trade ALL the days, from this day to that, for one chance, just one chance, to come back here and tell our enemies that they may take away our lives, but they'll never take... OUR FREEDOM
Just a movie.... but sums up a large amount of what drives us all. Especially the beloved Freepers! Life is not risk fee, but those who take no risks are doomed to servitude. Ask the french.
