A Quote from James Madison

"If tyranny and oppression come to this land, it will be in the guise of fighting a foreign enemy. . . The loss of Liberty at home is to be charged to the permissions against danger, real or imagined, from abroad. . ." - James Madison

Madison was talking about civil liberties and how fear can influence our outlook on liberty/freedom.

We fear riots, so we implement a curfew ... we fear attacks on airplanes, so security measures sometimes are extreme. dunno

If we feel protected, are we more willing to give up a piece of our freedom and liberty?

The challenge is that some sacrifice of liberty is necessary in the name of safety. The concern is that this can go too far. A good example is tolerating the idea of racial profiling or detaining someone because of the way they look.

(as for terrorism... I fear there will always be someone who believes killing is necessary to achieve their goals blues )
