"Experience should teach us to be most on our guard to protect liberty when the government's purposes are beneficial. Men born to freedom are naturally alert to repel invasion of their liberty by evil-minded rulers. The greater dangers to liberty lurk in insidious encroachment by men of zeal, well-meaning but without understanding." - Louis Brandeis

Statistics...
People misuse statistics all the time. In today's world we see something on the news, or something that "goes viral" and it is as if it becomes part of our own daily lives. The other day I got to take a long car ride with a man just released from prison. He said he was afraid he would not recognize America anymore. He was concerned about using a public restroom because of what his reaction might be to all the transgenders (by the way, Apple changed that to transponders - shame on you Apple, get with the program).
In our world of sound bites, tweets and viral videos, does anybody think past their first reaction anymore?
If a tree falls in the woods, and nobody is there to put it on YouTube, did it happen?

I Could Survive...
I don't know this guy, but this is the funniest thing I've seen all week (close second was an article regarding the Olympic gymnast that admitted all the news coverage regarding her leadership and inspirational comments to teammates was actually…just talk about Harry Potter)...
