When the people fear their government, there is tyranny; when the government fears the people, there is liberty.
Thomas Jefferson
[This was going to be a response to some gun fearing wussy who had objections to my statement here. But no one took the bait and someone else brought up what Jefferson said in the comments before I did.–Joe]
I can honestly say that as long as I’ve been aware of it I’ve been afraid of my government. That’s really sad when you think about it.
Robert; To a large extent, we each choose what to fear, or whether to fear.
