I never understood this quote. I happily gave up the freedom of driving without a seatbelt for security, what does that say about me?

The issue I have with this quote is that it implies that some people deserve freedom and others do not.

I think a better way to phrase it would be:

> he who gives up a little freedom for a little security ends up with neither
