"Necessity is the plea
for every infringement of human freedom. It is the argument of
tyrants; it is the creed
of slaves." --William Pitt, The Younger (1759-1806), British statesman.
"They that can give up essential
liberty to obtain a little temporary safety
deserve neither liberty
nor safety." --Benjamin Franklin
"Once a government is committed
to the principle of silencing the voice of opposition,
it has only one way to go,and
that is down the path of increasingly repressive measures,
until it becomes a sourceof
terror to all its citizens
and creates a country where
everyone lives in fear." --Harry S. Truman
"The tools of conquest do
not necessarily come with bombs and explosions and fallout.
There are weapons that are simply
thoughts, attitudes, prejudices, to be found only in the minds of men.
For the record, prejudice scan
kill, and suspicion can destroy, and the thoughtless, frightened search
for a scapegoat has a fallout
all of its own for the children, and the children yet unborn.
And the pity of it is that these
things cannot be confined to the Twilight Zone."
