(slightly paraphrased)

"Those willing to give up any freedom for some temporary safety deserve neither."

That would have to conclude my thoughts on everything. While we've got politicians hotwiring cameras to traffic lights, we've got parent organizations crying to ban jungle gyms because little bobby broke his arm.

cheers!

"If this now flourishing City, and greatly improving Colony, is destroy'd and ruin'd, it will not be for want of Numbers of Inhabitants able to bear Arms in its defence. 'Tis computed that we have at least (exclusive of Quakers) 60,000 Fighting Men, acquainted with Fire-Arms, many of them Hunters and Marksmen, hardy and bold." Benjamin Franklin, B.F. Papers, vol. III, p.202
