Subject: RE: BS: Freedom vs. Security
Churchill nailed it. Seems we have allowed the appeasers to co-opt the decision process. Thus we have the laws to legislate morality, and all to often, thought. Freedom retreats a little every day, all to keep the evil crocodile at bay. That and security seems so much easier than freedom. For individuals and the society.

The satisfaction of physical needs is indeed the indispensable precondition of a satisfactory existence, but in itself is not enough. In order to be content men must also have the possibility of developing their intellectual and artistic powers to whatever extent accord with their personal characteristics and abilities." - Albert Einstein
