For a really good treatment of the distinction between "freedom
from..." and "freedom to...", read "The Handmaid's Tale" by Margarat
Atwood.

I would much rather be afraid of walking down the streets at night
than be afraid of black vans that come get you in broad daylight.

I'm sorry, but I have to agree with the people who feel that our
government is by far the greatest threat to our society.
