Snipola of excellent piece of sarcasm

As Benjamin Franklin said...

"He that would give up essential liberty for a little
security deserve neither liberty nor security."

(Or something close to that.)


He also said, in the same paragraph, "The only way to preserve liberty
is to never be secure.", (meaning: complacent. just as the US was pre
9/11.)


Thank you for that. I need to brush up on my Franklin quotes.
