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.
- Mayor Rudy Giuliani on crime in 1994
I hate Orwellian comparisons as much as the next guy but did the GOP front runner actually say 'Freedom is Slavery' as Mayor of New York City?
