On losing FREEDOM and LIBERTY... Must we give up the freedom and liberty we have as U.S. citizens in order to fight terrorism? Must we become a police state? Some of our lawmakers and of course the law enforcers think so. But recall Benjamin Franklin's sage words: "They that can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety." Franklin's admonition is just as true now as it was when he helped found our country and create our Consitution. It's not just foreign terrorists that are a threat to the the U.S. and the freedom and liberty it represents for the common man.
