    The question is too general to be answered.

    We give up Liberty every time we fly to an illegal search with no probable cause for the sake of airplane Security. I am ok with that (kind of) as longs as the TSA's do their jobs with no attitude.

    Liberty and security are not mutually excluding. Today is Aug 15 th our independence day. We ceased to be a British colony and became secure Indians under an exemplary constitution

    all depends in what context and what definitions. If this if from the argument that in order to have security one must give up certain liberties, I don't know. this doesn't seem like a black/white question. In the context of nature, security is fleeting but liberty is present until limited and/or eliminated by your environment. ex: gazelle----lion.

    Liberty is security. Most people killed throughout the world are killed at the hands of tyrannical governments.

    Source(s): The Holocaust, Dufar, Saddam's genocide against the Kerds, Rowanda, Pol Pot's mass killings in Cambodia, The American Revolution, French Revolution, Stalin, and the list goes on.
  • Liberty all the way.
