Security vs. Liberty

        Personally, from everything I've learned/experienced, safety for the majority is better than liberty for the minority.One can live a peaceful life without liberty but without security many people would have to be paranoid just to survive. Living in a state of perpetual fear is and absolute living hell and I would gladly sacrifice some of my liberties to ensure that everyone if free of this curse. Everyone has experienced having their liberties limited for the sack of security and efficiency, everyone was once a child. Parental Tyranny rained over most citizens of the United States, is it really that different to have big brother watching? I think the average person could set aside a few minutes of their day to ensure that everyone else is safe in their own homes. In "The FBI is Reading Over My Shoulder" the author is complaining that the FBI investigates people who take an interest in bombs. Even if only .01% of people who check out those books ever attempts a terrorist bombing, these few people could kill hundreds of people. When Big Brother is watching this very rarely happens, and yes a few people may be falsely accused but they will be released after processing but that is worth saving the lives of hundreds of people. The well being of the majority is always greater than the comfort of the minority, no exceptions.
