# It's a balance between freedom and safety
you can't have both.

it seems most americans would rather be safer

the balance will continue that way until we need to be protected from the government I suppose

# more congressmen
would rather keep their jobs so they agree with the right wing maniacs.

And it is a fine balance, but there are better ways to protect a people than checking what people take out from the library, and sending people away longer for crimes against their country and making it easier for people to be convicted of those crimes

# it's quite obvious
that the us government is using the events of the past few years and the resulting "fear" as an excuse to bang through all these heavy laws and restrictions which might seem now to be for "your own good" but will in the long run be, er, bad.
