"Freedom is about authority."


Quote to keep in mind with the hype around Giuliani
"We look upon authority too often and focus over and over again, for 30 or 40 or 50 years, as if there is something wrong with authority. We see only the oppressive side of authority. Maybe it comes out of our history and our background. What we don't see is that freedom is not a concept in which people can do anything they want, be anything they can be. Freedom is about authority. Freedom is about the willingness of every single human being to cede to lawful authority a great deal of discretion about what you do."
— Rudolph Giuliani, speech on crime and law enforcement in New York City, March 16, 1994

You know, the more I look at Giuliani, the less I like him. Friends back on the East Coast warned me, but I didn't listen.

Hat tip Nobody's Business.
