Rudolph 9\/11 Guiliani:<\/p>\n
\u201cWe see only the oppressive side of authority. Maybe it comes out of our history and our background. What we don\u2019t see is that freedom is not a concept in which people can do anything they want, be anything they can be. Freedom is about authority. Freedom is about the willingness of every single human being to cede to lawful authority a great deal of discretion about what you do.\u201d<\/p>\n
[ Interruption by someone in the audience. ]<\/p>\n
\u201cYou have free speech so I can be heard.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
Mr. Guiliani lives in a sensible world, where everyone obeys, people keep their heads down, and the policemen get armored vehicles<\/a>! Because nothing says freedom like not having any, right Rudy (at least he believes in evolution<\/a> though)?
