As Ben Franklin put it, people willing to sacrifice small freedoms in exchange for temporary security deserve neither and will lose both.

Preach on, sistah.

I do admit that my own black and white views on freedom vs security have softened in recent years due to my two government jobs. One of them is a school with a 95% Hispanic population, half of which are English learners, many of which are poor with uneducated parents. I can't help but wish we had more resources for them, but of course that's bigger government. It can be tough.

I still am a Libertarian though and haven't voted for a Dem or Rep in many years
