    security is usually necessarily in opposition to liberty. i want the freedom to leave my front door unlocked and open. unfortunately i must sacrifice that freedom for security. i guess i deserve neither?

    Keeping your door locked doesn't make you any safer.

    look we all know that any efforts towards security, locking doors, screening airplane passengers walking through metal detectors, that sort of things these are violations of our liberty. we should toss these things and forget security because some old quote says we dont deserve liberty.

    red needs to get in here and tell you fellaz that it is about balance. you cant be free unless you are secure from bad guys. and thats just the way it works. you will have to, for example show ID when getting on a plane. wouldnt it be great if you could just skip aboard unchecked with no ID and a sack of explosives. poor us, we gave up our liberty.

    It's about balance, you fellers.

    We should be happy to show ID and tolerate scans and pat-downs. We should object to racial profiling and totally reject anal probes and street mimes.

    It's funny how many Mexicans don't use turn signals to change lanes on I-10 between Breaux Bridge and Henderson

    I'm sure there is some deep-seated hatred between the two cultures that is passed down like racism is here in the South, but do you really think that some poor Palestinian is firing a rocket into the West Bank because the Israelites drove out his ancestors 2,000+ years ago or because his father was killed when his house was razed by an Israeli bulldozer?

    Israeli's are not a very tolerant people and are no better than the backwards Arabs who they fight...

    Let's all learn from the Northerners about how to live in harmony. For example, would the Fab Five have been received as warmly in Alabama as they were in Michigan? :dis:
