Safekeeping Our Freedoms

With the five year anniversary of the attack on the World Trade Center towers, the price we have paid in lost liberties has become more apparent. What is disturbing about this loss is not the willingness of the general population to forgo their freedoms in the hope of securing more safety, but the ease with which those in power convinced themselves to take them. As technology progresses, the ability to restrict our freedoms becomes easier and it will only be by the virtues of those in positions of power that we will maintain them. The reaction of the Bush administration does not give comfort that we will be in good hands
