“Anyone who trades liberty for security deserves neither liberty nor security” ~ Benjamin Franklin
Could there be a more relevant quote right here, and right now? The "war on terror" comes toe to toe with this little truism on a daily basis. Our government grows larger by the day, all the while consuming a liberty here and a liberty there. No one notices until it is too late. To confuse the issue even further, there are those out there that believe that OUR liberties should be extended to the aggressor. What a slippery slope we tread daily. What a horrid future we create for our children - to leave them bound by laws that the enemy will never follow.

So very true. We are bound by more regulations and laws that are meant to keep us "safe" while our liberties are being stripped away.
