The president called the records kept on millions of phone customers “modest encroachments on privacy.”Honestly, Sweetie, it's only a modest encroachment on your zipper. I won't let it go to far. Honest, Babe.
Huh... Maybe we should consider a few other quotes?
“Those who would give up essential liberty to purchase a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety.”-Benjamin Franklin
"The urge to save humanity is almost always a false-front for the urge to rule it."
-H.L. Mencken
“Of all tyrannies, a tyranny exercised for the good of its victims may be the most
oppressive. It may be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent
moral busybodies. The robber baron’s cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity
may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will
torment us without end, for they do so with the approval of their consciences.”
–C.S. Lewis
