I like that quote. It is a good description of what happens when people ignore basic rights infringements. The core of the US's glory is our rights, and if we let them be taken away for any reason... well... that's not why I came to the US.

In any case, what was the quote from Ben Franklin? "He who lets his rights be taken away in the name of security, deserves neither."
