Liberty, as we all know, cannot flourish in a country that is permanently on a war footing, or even a near war footing. Permanent crisis justifies permanent control of everybody and everything by the agencies of central government.
眾所周知,自由不可能在一個永久處於戰爭狀態、甚至接近戰爭狀態的國家中蓬勃發展。永久危機證明中央政府機構對每個人、每件事進行永久控制是合理的。
