We have traded our liberty for security, writes Damien Grant.
OPINION: American statesman and inventor, Benjamin Franklin, is credited with the most cited quote on the trade-off between liberty and security when, in 1755, he wrote; “Those who would give up essential Liberty, to purchase a little temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety.” Franklin’s critique is harsh. He is making a value judgement about those whose preference is to forgo some liberty in return for safety. These people are not just wrong in Franklin’s mind, they do not
deserve liberty or safety. I do not share this disdain for my fellow citizens but it is clear that we have long passed the high-water mark for liberty. Today’s comfortable western citizen does not value liberty nor privacy. What we crave is security and our demand is being satisfied by an expanding surveillance state that few are inclined to question.
