Neither Liberty nor Safety

Those who would give up essential Liberty, to purchase a little temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety. Benjamin Franklin
An unbelievable poll today shows that most Americans support NSA’s program to collect information on domestic phone calls. It appears that even if most Americans do not approve of President Bush’s job performance, they have adopted the administration’s assertion that we are in a state of perpetual war against terrorism. If Americans continue to accept that assertion, there will be no end to the curtailment of Liberty sought by Bush and company. How far are Americans willing to go?
