These are dangerous times. When we are afraid, we want to be protected, and since we can not protect ourselves against such horrors as mass murder by bombers, we are tempted to run to the government.
A government that is always willing to trade the promise of protection for our freedom, which left, as always the question: how much freedom are we willing to relinquish for such a bald promise?
