Overpriced Security

We all know that there is no truly safe place in this universe. Neither is there an instant in the life of any one of us in which great harm may not befall us without warning or apparent cause. Given these realities, isn't Liberty too high a price to pay for Homeland Security?

William's Whimsical Words:

,and isn't the illusion of personal safety too dear if it comes at the cost of human dignity?
