Freedom is not defined by safety. Freedom is defined by the ability of citizens to live without government interference. Government cannot create a world without risks, nor would we really wish to live in such a fictional place.

Liberty has meaning only if we still believe in it when terrible things happen and a false government security blanket beckons. View quote

I will not leave. View quote

In reality, this scenario does not exist and I never want it to. (Max Greenfield)
