Sig From Slashdot

Maybe this should be under the "Political Thought" category rather than "Sigs:, but I find this one from "jafac" to be +5 Insightful:

Democracy isn't Freedom. Inalienable Rights are. Democracy is only a precondition for Inalienability of Rights.

Maybe we should worry more about the deterioration of respect of Constitutionaly Law and the Bill of Rights and less about the latest "bogeyman". The bogeyman changes, but those that would ask us to trade our democracy and the freedoms we cherish because of the threat of the "bad guys" are always with us.

Eternal vigilance is the price of liberty. - Wendell Phillips
