"It's untidy. And freedom's untidy. And free people are free to make mistakes and commit crimes and do bad things."
DONALD RUMSFELD, USA Defense [sic] Secretary, on lawlessness in Iraq,
from The New York Times

I wonder if he said the same about the situation in South Central Los
Angeles after the original acquittal in the "Rodney King bashing" case?

If US citizens know their government approves such 'freedoms', no wonder
they feel it necessary to arm themselves, barricade their houses or wall
off their communities.

News recently showed US defence medical officers practicing for battle
conditions in city hospital casualty -- and some people wonder why many
Australians criticise importing business & social practices associated
with such conditions.
