Freedom IX

"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."
--Rudolph W. Giuliani (1944- )
Mayor of New York City from 1994-2001
