Freedom vs. Safety

Michael Goettsche makes a very good point, that in responding to terrorist attacks by restricting freedoms so as to improve safety, we are doing exactly what they want. I would argue further that we are remaking our society in their image. --Woozle 09:40, 14 Jul 2005 (CDT)

To Do: reference quotes about "those who would sacrifice freedom for safety deserve neither"; there are several variants.
