Quote of the day - Liberty

Never could an increase of comfort or security be a sufficient good to be bought at the price of liberty. "

-Hillaire Belloc

And yet that is what we have been consistently doing to this country, buying the mere illusion of comfort and security at the price of liberty. That liberty, once sold, is hard to buy back.

I don't think it can be bought back.

Unless people pay that price with their lives. A purchase for their children.
