That's the mantra for those who fear freedom. They are willing to trade it for security. They are the ones who say that the problem with rugged individualism is it's rugged on the individual. And there's some truth to that. But security also has costs.
Absolute security requires absolute rules and regulations.
In the long run, it means effort doesn't pay. And we wind up with the attitude displayed in the former Soviet Union. That government provided basic security. But because people were not rewarded for their efforts, no one wanted to work hard. That set off a vicious circle.
