what do you think of this saying?

I was just riding a bus a while ago and when I saw this sign or motto placed on the building.

"THE PRICE OF LIBERTY IS ETERNAL VIGILANCE"

I thought that kind of motto was pretty good dont you think?

I have a better one:

The only way to invulnerability is through not being a valid target

All kidding aside Harkolier, it is a good quote and very true. Complacency in anything more often than not leads to unexpected, if not, dire consequences.

I disagree. Too much vigilance can lead to a police state, and I don't think thats a good thing imo. Being watched 24/7 "for your own good" is not my idea of freedom. I think that too much vigilance can lead to paranoia. Of course, on the other hand, too much complacency is a bad thing too.

And if there is an eternal price on it is it still liberty?
