Thomas Jefferson wrote, "I would rather be exposed to the inconveniences attending too much liberty than to those attending too small a degree of it."
I can't tell you how many times the objections people have made to my advocacy of liberty boil down to "But that would inconvenience me!"
The other version is, "But I don't want to be bothered to do that!" when I point out that something is their responsibility, not government's. That's just another form of "inconvenience" mixed with a little cowardice.
Modern humans are scared of liberty and willing to sacrifice it so they won’t be inconvenienced. Slavery is comforting to them. It's easier. No responsibility. No effort. It’s sick and pathetic.
