Don t Barter Rights for Security by Terry Mitchell
"Those who cede capital alternative for acting assurance are not admirable of either alternative or safety." -- Ben Franklin, 1776
In the deathwatch of 9/11 and consecutive agitator attacks about the world, there is a absolute allurement to acquiesce the government to yield abroad some of our alotof adored rights in barter for greater security. We haveto abide this temptation. In adjustment to accept a chargeless society, there are assertive prices that accept to be paid. One of those is the achievability that anyone will yield advantage of our abandon and use it as an befalling to endanger us. So what if they do? Giving up any allotment of our abandon is not the answer. In fact, that s absolutely what the terrorists want. If we do that, they win.
The U.S.A. Patriot Act is a move in the amiss administration and could represent a glace abruptness against added abrasion of our rights. Address your Adumbrative and Senators and ask them to abolition the U.S.A. Patriot Act and abstain casual agnate legislation in the future. If we don t do something soon, the U.S. could anon accept behavior agnate to some communist, fascist, and Islamic fundamentalist countries, all beneath the guise of greater security!
People accept accused me of getting "obsessive and overzealous" on this affair but that s accept with me. Ask some of the chief citizens in Cuba who accept been beneath Castro s backbreaking administration for 45 years how they feel now. I bet some of them ambition they would accept been a little added "obsessive and overzealous" about their abandon in 1959, instead of continuing by irenic if the communists took over. Attending what it s gotten them!
If some of those currently beneath Islamic aphorism in the Arab apple were chargeless to say what they anticipation about their situations now, I bet some of them would acquaint you they ambition they would accept been a little added "obsessive and overzealous" about attention their abandon instead of sitting by irenic and absolution the Islamic fundamentalists yield over.
What about Arctic Korea? Could a few added "obsessive and overzealous" defenders of abandon accept prevented that country acceptable the antipathetic blackmail to the apple that it is today?
What about Nazi Germany? Could Hitler s acceleration to ability accept been nipped in the bud if his opponents had been a little added "obsessive and overzealous" instead of getting so timid? Could we accept acclimated a few added "obsessive and overzealous" defenders of civilian liberties in Germany if six actor Jews were accident their lives?
What if George Washington, John Adams, Thomas Jefferson, and the additional Founding Fathers would accept just accustomed in to England s demands instead of getting so "obsessive and overzealous" about their freedom? And Patrick Henry? Absolutely he was an "obsessive and overzealous" being if there anytime was one. Why he was even "obsessive and overzealous" abundant to say "give me alternative or accord me death" and absolutely beggarly it!
There are affluence of well-meaning but bearded and aflutter individuals out there who are lobbying Assembly to absolute our First and Additional Amendment, habeas corpus, and additional rights even further. We haveto let our choir be heard or the choir of those humans will be the alone ones they hear. It alone takes a few account to create a difference. Of course, it doesn t yield any time at all to sit aback and let your rights absolutely erode. The best is yours.
