We give up some freedom of privacy each time we fly. Most of us think it is worth it to have the security of flying without a terrorist destroying the plane. If we insisted on freedom from search, we would give up some security on the airplane. There are thousands of less dramatic and less clear-cut decisions we must make in our elected governments. Added to the decision process is the element of responsibility.
More freedom means less security, but it also requires more responsibility.
Consider life under Communism. There was little freedom, but a lot of security. Most people were guaranteed a job with some sort of income, even if it was small. That meant a small pension, also, in old age. It took little responsibility on the citizen s part.
