Security

Most people want security in this world, not liberty.

I think I took this picture in a bathroom stall in a Chinese restaurant in Maine. I'm not sure the story of this door, but it is clear that they wanted to make sure whoever used this stall felt safe. There are two locks, a third that got moved or removed and a fourth at the top of the door (in case you didn't see that one).

It's scary to me to put security over liberty. That is a slippery slope. I'd rather people felt they had to liberty to slide down that slope if they want than that we keep everyone safe. In fact, there might be a few people I would shove down that slippery slope.

Anyway, weird bathroom stall, huh?
