Thanks, Richard. I appreciate your open-mindedness on the matter. There is no perfect solution, sadly, but I do know that freedom requires sacrifices, and as I quote in “In Praise of Dangerous Freedom”:

Malo periculosam, libertatem quam quietam servitutem [I prefer dangerous freedom over peaceful slavery].… It prevents the degeneracy of government, and nourishes a general attention to the public affairs. I hold it that a little rebellion now and then is a good thing, and as necessary in the political world as storms in the physical.”

—Thomas Jefferson in a letter to James Madison, January 30, 1787
