But I have news for you... the state didn't come into existence to keep us safe - it came into existence to keep us free.
You don't get to use every scary situation to use the apparatus to club the rest of us and expect us all to perpetually grin and bear it. Enough is enough.

Safety vs freedom is a false choice--it is not either/or--in a complex public health crisis we should look to the government to do both. So far, our local Governors Sununu and Baker seem to be doing a good job with the balance.
