Franklin Liberty
What does the following quote from Benjamin Franklin mean?

Those who would give up essential liberty to purchase a little temporary safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety”
Benjamin Franklin

What does the above quotation mean to you?

It means that only cowards would surrender their liberty in exchange for “safety”. And cowards don’t deserve safety. Today’s example is the US Patriot Act and Homeland Security, and the suppression of Muslims in the US.
