In 1961, Eisenhower warned of the “unwarranted influence” of the “military industrial complex”. He and Roosevelt believed fear was dangerous.
Thomas Jefferson said, “The price of freedom is eternal vigilance”. We are deprived of that vigilance if we cannot show a record.
If we must “prove”…”reasonable excuse” (s76), that presumption of guilt is a police state.
Roosevelt remarked, “When you get to the end of your rope, tie a knot and hang on”.
With many ropes and many knots, we might help each other to hang on. Good luck to all.
