Thursday Thinking - Security vs Freedom
In light of all the government phone and internet surveillance, wire-tapping, and drones spying on Americans as well as subsidies, entitlements, and gun legislation, I keep thinking of these two quotes:
“If you want total security, go to prison. There you're fed, clothed, given medical care and so on. The only thing lacking . . . is freedom.”
-Dwight D. Eisenhower
"Any society that would give up a little liberty to gain a little security will deserve neither and lose both."
- Benjamin Franklin
