Depending on the situation, if there are suicide bombers out there waiting to kill himself/herself off along with some unfortunate people, then yea I would willingly shut myself in and trade in my freedom for security!.

And I would rather choose to have no freedom than to expose myself to the threats threatening my security!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Depends upon the circumstances but probably yes because sacrificing my freedom would put in jeopardy every one elses freedom it would be worthwhile making the sacrifice early on in a 'situation' where freedoms were at stake - I'd sacrifice myself now that I am old for the sake of my grandchildren's freedom!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

No I wont sacrifice freedom for security!. There is no happiness in being secure at any moment security could be breached!. While being free you can enjoy yourself to a point where you could have security!. Security can be attained with freedom!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

God no! Sure, we'd have order, but at what cost! Life isn't secure - creating that version of it that is controlled by the government is simply putting a blanket over the publics eyes!. Thats not security - its ignorance!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
