The famous quote from Lord Acton, Power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely. And once you give, once you cede that power to the government, it's hard to get it back. Once you give up rights, you know, it's easy to give up rights. It can take almost no time. It can take, as we've seen, three years where we've given up so many of our rights for what we believed in some sense was safety. (17:04–17:11)
