On abcNews there's an article named "Your Thoughts: Liberty vs Security". In this article there are comments on weather we should have liberty or security. Having liberty is basically having freedom to do basically anything you want to do. Having security is basically cutting your freedom down and it takes away some of the opportunities you have. In the article one comment stated "Any society that would give up a little liberty to gain a little security will deserve neither and loose both". I found this comment to be some what true because if you decide to give up a little liberty for security not all policemen and women do their job right so there for your liberty is going down the drain and the security that you are expecting to do something for you are really doing nothing but taking your money. Another comment that I found Interesting was a lady or a man was talking about why start this now and we haven't been attacked since then. I agree with them if we haven't been attacked since the 9/11 happened why try and take away peoples freedom to have more security. Now as far as the government being allowed to record out phone conversations and read out emails I can really care less about that because I feel they are already doing it well the email part. I also think that the government have our contacts and they can also check our phone record and see who we have been talking to. Overall I think I would be in the middle if it actually came down to choosing. My liberty and having freedom is very important to me and I wouldn't give it up for security or people who are suppose to keep you safe and they don't do there job then that's like a smack in the face.
