“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.”
