Benjamin Franklin stated that "those willing to trade some freedom for the promise of security deserve neither freedom nor security". 1: I wasn't talking about security. Yes you are, but you just don't realize it. You advocate the government providing for the various 'needs' of certain groups thus providing the security that those needs will be met for them, over an above 'national' security from attack from an enemy. There is the security of 'universal' health care, education, housing, Social [sic] Security, free prescriptions and yes, even translations of various information services into their native language etc. etc. These are all forms of security people come to _expect_ to be provided for them with littel or no effort on their part. I'll take freedom ... the freedom to stop participating in the Social Security system and get all the money I have paid in back so I could be allowed to invest the way I want to. I assure you I'd be much better off in the long run. But alas, I have no such freedom to do that. I can see this entire concept of freedom is alien to you so there is no use discussing further. |
