I've been reading from some libertarians due to the disclosure by Snowden of domestic ease dropping they quote Ben Franklin.
Those who would give up liberty to purchase safety deserves neither liberty or safety.
The actual quote is
Those who would give up essential liberty to purchase a little temporary safety deserves neither liberty or safety.
With those 3 extra words the quote by Ben Franklin does not have quite the same meaning.
I don't have the same worries as some have about income inequities, I worry more about life inequities.
Too many of those high money types worry that the poor will get enough to eat, have a decent place to live and heaven forbid cable television and smart phones, like it's going to change the life style of the rich and famous.
Some times I suspect that there are people in the world who would be happy if the less fortune in the world turned into cows.
Why are we so worried about athletes who cheat when our bankers have a greater percentage of cheaters then baseball?
