Many snide political comments have been made over the years to make a valid point. Here's one example:
"Is life so dear, or peace so sweet, as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery? Forbid it, Almighty God! I know not what course others may take; but as for me, give me liberty or give me death!"
There were probably some unhappy people back in that time, too, admonishing people like Patrick Henry. I'm not comparing anybody here with him. But we have recent history of absolute craziness that we all need to pay attention to, such as a Malden Mass elementary school this week banning students from bringing Valentine’s Day candy or cards over cultural equality issues and federal guidelines regulating candy, to federal gun control, and NYC Big Gulp controls. I personally think the suppression of individual liberty is more tiresome.
