Only cowards would sacrifice freedom for a sense of security.
Only idiots would leave themselves open for endless attacks without taking defensive steps in the name of a false sense of freedom.
With the exception of a few, we are NOT a nation of idiots!
They that can give up essential liberty to purchase a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety.
- Ben Franklin, 1755, to the Pennsylvania State Legislature
"Those who give up liberty to get a little temporary security, will get neither"
