I don't see how we can have both the freedoms we had before and the safety net that we all need considering the way the world is today. And that's just because human beings can't trust each other. We've given in over and over to some of the darkest elements that exist in life itself.
I agree with taking the time and respecting the great innovators of the past, but the word innovation would cease to exist if we all do is look at the past.
