Freedom from Freedom?.............from Rico

This is worth thinking about.

"In the end, more than they wanted freedom, they wanted security. They wanted a comfortable life and they lost it all - security, comfort, and freedom. When the Athenians finally wanted not to give to society but for society to give to them, when the freedom they wished for most was freedom from responsibility the Athens ceased to be free."
Edward Gibbon "The Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire"
