That is when they found it‚ The Breakfast Club. I was skeptical at first‚ due to the age and how simple it looked‚ but they ended up convincing me. We went back to my house and

who sacrifices freedom for security is neither free‚ nor secure. If you really think about it‚ this quote makes you think “are we really safe in this country?” All the attacks we have witness or suffered‚ have we reached the point where we should sacrifice our FREEDOM?
