Everybody knows that history runs in cycles, just like fashion.

The people before us have fought (and died) for freedom. We are the ones giving it up. And some day after we're gone, some people will fight for it again.

And the whole thing starts over once more.

You may be right, but I'm not overly keen for my children's or future generations to have to die just to get back what we lost through apathy.

It might not be as easy to get back as getting them first time around. The pervasive surveillance will enable govt to hinder those pesky demonstrators far more effectively.
