How much does it cost to prevent an earthquake? Volcano eruption? Tsunami?
Woopse prevent was the wrong word. Disaster management is the right one. The fact remains the same. Number of terrorist attacks in Australia nil, number of natural disasters in the last 2 years alone which have totally exhausted all of the possible support services we have in just the state of Queensland 3. Entire towns have been lost in this state before the government realised suddenly that the QSES was grossly underfunded.
Personally, I would rather give up some First Ammendment Rights then have myself or family blown up, shot,
A saying I read the other day: "A man who gives up his civil liberties for the sake of security deserves neither."
I have to say the mentality of your comment saddens me deeply that there are people in our society who now are willing to give up their freedom for security. But I guess it did work so well in 1984.
