"I would rather be exposed to the inconveniences attending too much liberty than to those attending too small a degree of it."

Anyone want to guess who first said that?
 
My point is that some here would do well to heed these words, rather than sell their liberties for false promises of safety.
 
"Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed." -- Thomas Jefferson
 
Those who would give up Essential Liberty to purchase a little Temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety.

As long as we're in a fortune-cookie mood :D
