People have to define both "Essential Liberty" and "a little Temporary Safety". They don't always agree.

That quote was aimed at one of the little off-topic drifts in the conversation-- specifically Australia's attempt at wide-ranging mandatory government censorship of the internet in Australia. The person I was replying to thinks it is okay to have wide-ranging mandatory government censorship of the internet as long as it stops a few narrow categories he (or she) doesn't like. So, my reply is-- if that's the government you want, then you deserve to get it.
