According to http://www.bartleby.com/100/245.1.html, The exact quote is

"They that can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety."

and it comes from "Historical Review of Pennsylvania."

I hope this helps...

: Something to the effect of "Those who would trade freedom for security are neither free nor secure"? If so could you post the exact quote and who said it. Thanxs

If the person posting this message left their e-mail address, we inserted some random characters to prevent spammers from harvesting their address. Spammers do this with automated "bots" that constantly search the Web looking for e-mail addresses. Since you're a human being, not a bot, you can easily obtain the real address by removing the text that says "ThisisToPreventSpam-XYZ-RemoveThis." including the random number XYZ and the period at the end. For example, <whitten@ThisIsToPreventSpam-123-RemoveThis.despammed.com> would become <chris-(@)-interesting.com>.
