Is There A Trade Off Between Liberty & Security | Learn Liberty 

"The urge to save humanity is almost always a false front for the urge to rule." HL Menchen

Nobody has said it better. For those who don't know these things, this video could be life changing.

The dignity part is a very important aspect in my opinion. Especially when explaining this position to others.

It seems there is a Laffer curve of liberty: With a little security there is only a little liberty and with maximum security there is also only a little liberty.

Possibly the best video on the internet. Every citizen of the US should watch it...as many times as it takes to sink in.

This begs the question - are we telling the State what we want or need, or is the State telling us???

This channel is a blessing. Thank you very much for creating and sharing these contents freely.

Well said! We have sacrificed far too much liberty in the name of security since 9/11.

I've yet to see a Learn Liberty vid that has not been 100% worth the time. Valuable ideas are contained therein.

“Those who trade liberty for security deserve neither and will lose both.” -Benjamin Franklin

What I want most of all is security from government infringing on my liberty. Our Bill of Rights pretty much has this covered.................if corrupt politicians can be kept from tampering with it.

thanks

I came here from Philosophy class

Those who would trade liberty for security deserve neither and will lose both

The freedom to swing my arm ends where your face begins.

If you give up liberty for security you dont deserve both

Hayek was wrong

The thumbnail looked like as if I was about to get rickrolled

Is our responsibility and our obligation for our freedoms to do everything the government tells us to do? How about when everyone disagrees? We shouldn’t be forced to take anything into our bodies that we don’t want. If we let “Screw your freedoms.” be ok then what is next? Our freedoms are a big deal. If you are ok with less freedom then go ahead and give all your freedoms up but leave me out of it. Cuba or Venezuela might be good places for you to live. They don’t have many freedoms. Have fun with that. After you move down there post a RU-vid video telling us how living with little to no freedoms is really awesome.

NERF the world!
