Greed
and Fear
At any effort to ram through legislation based on sudden mass hysteria
motivated by either of these emotions, I will carefully scrutinize the
bill. Many such laws have passed without even being read by the members
of Congress and have taken away freedoms we have previously long
enjoyed. It is said the devil is in the details. If we as a people want
complete security that can be found in a maximum security prison.
The current wave of inspiring fear in order to shred our liberties
shall not stand. The only thing worthy of our fear is God.
"Those who would give up essential liberty to purchase a little
temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety." - Benjamin
Franklin
“A society that will trade a little liberty for a little
order will lose both, and deserve neither” - Thomas Jefferson
