Heck, without folks like the Bradys, we'd have to live with a constitution written by a bunch of dead white guys who surely would see things differently, were they alive today. (/sarcasm)
We are blessed to live in a time with so many people of 'vision'. Bradys, and that other woman whose daughter was killed by a drunk driver which gave us MADD. Trading a little liberty for that 'ol sense of security sure beats having to live responsibly.
Tyrants simply sit back scratching their heads and wonder in amazement at what liberties we'll be removing from ouselves next. "Hey, maybe this 'self-government' thing ain't so bad afterall. Come to Papa!"
