You are absolutely right Ossie, my country's the perfect example of that. For over 50 years we were oppressed by the government, people were robbed of their freedoms. Were we safe? Very! So much so we even managed to stay out of WWII. The truth is on the 25th of April of 1974 the populatio rebelled and brought down the government. We're not safe like we used to be anymore but we're free and the Portuguese people is very proud of that. So here it is, a real life story of how people prefered freedom over safety.
