Freedom or State Security?

Take your pick because you can't have both.

As we are increasingly aware, handing your security over to government
is a dangerous thing to do because government never controls itself.
It forever seeks to gain total control and power over everything.
This simple rule has been seen throughout history, and unfortunately,
it is still true of our state, national and local governments.

Can you think up a reason why our founding fathers spent so much time
and effort on producing a Bill of Rights and Constitution?

Maybe they were closer to the fire than we are today.  Maybe they
lived through exposure to Big Government and all its tyrannical ways.
Maybe we had better wake up before we are so secure, we have no
freedom left.
