Re: Just a test

I wholeheartedly agree David and Pam.  We give up far more than we realize 
when we are asked to out of fear for the sake of "security."

And then you have to ask yourself, what is security?  When will we know when 
we are secure?  We gave up our freedoms.  Do you feel secure now?

I know we digress from garden talk with this but I can't help but wonder 
what's more terrifying, having planes slam into your office building with no 
warning or "Redcoats" ride onto your farm in the middle of the night? Both 
in my mind would be scary.  Lest we forget by the way John Adams had the 
Sedition Acts passed during his presidency and something similar during 
Woodrow Wilson's term and lets not leave out the Japanese during WW II  I 
think it's not the quest for security that surprises me as much as those who 
attempt to gain from the fear.  That's the reprehensible part.  True courage 
is standing up to those who torment us without giving up our souls.
