By the way, Thanks for the comment on my page. The categories listing looks fine at my end (what system/browser do you use?), so I do not know what to do! Please let me know what exactly the error is.. perhaps different browsers display/load the tree differently?

Too true. But what if you only had security? Then what??

You've made me all frazzled, Abraham.

To have complete security would probably require all citizens to allow an unprecedented amount of scrutiny into their lives by the security services.

Obviously, neither viable nor desired.

So, if we have complete freedom, then in all likelihood, there would complete anarchy.

Obviously, neither viable nor desired...
