a lot of what's been going on lately has been defended, and i don't get why.
some notable quotes:
A man will fight harder for his interests than for his rights.
Napoleon Bonaparte
As long as enough people can be frightened, then all people can be ruled. That is how it works in a democratic system and mass fear becomes the ticket to destroy rights across the board.
James Bovard
I believe there are more instances of the abridgement of freedom of the people by gradual and silent encroachments by those in power than by violent and sudden usurpations.
James Madison
the last is the one that has resonated with me the last few months/years.
found another that i thought should be shared.
If you want total security, go to prison. There you're fed, clothed, given medical care and so on. The only thing lacking... is freedom.
Dwight D. Eisenhower
