Quote of the day - liberty costs

"The cost of liberty is less than the price of repression."


- W. E. B. Du Bois
 
Unfortunately many folks are happy to be repressed.  Repression is their "normal" and liberty and its attendant costs are seen as abnormal and dangerous.

Don't you understand that this is about safety? You want to be safe, don't you?
