You know, that statement is absolutely correct. Freedom is an extremely dangerous thing. It is extremely valuable and precious, it requires the holder to actually do some work to maintain it (like think and act) and exposes the user to all kinds of potential hazards of body, mind, and soul. It is much "safer" and easier not to have freedom; to have some omnipotent State dictate to us what to think and do. They we can just lean back and enjoy the latest episode of American Idol. Yep, ignorance is bliss.
I suspect that the state of Florida will soon be the safest place on the planet.
