Sacrificing liberty

"Those that would give up essential liberty to purchase a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety." - Benjamin Franklin

When one surrenders liberty, it does not disappear into nothingness, into the air. When one surrenders liberty, in effect, they give someone else a greater degree of control, of power over their own life. At present, this is occurring internationally, the global consolidation and centralization of power, under the guise of security.
