It is the view that "cost effective and safety" outweigh personal freedom and liberty that is so very wrong.
To quote Benjamin Franklin:
" They who can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety."
The cost of our liberty has been paid in BLOOD. Some of that blood has been shed by many who are here themselves or who have lost friends to secure that liberty. Our nation was formed because patriots who believed in those liberties fought and in many cases died for them. So while it may be considered "offensive" to some, I will say it anyway:
The day the government puts a dollar amount above the freedoms and liberties secured by the blood, sweat and tears of the patriots who serve the nation, it no longer has the right or authority to rule.
