National security first. In a true crisis, the state may temporarily override private assets to shield the people, but only with clear justification and sunset limits.
National security first, I concede. Yet security without liberty and beauty is tyranny by another name.
Agreed. True security comes from virtue and the common good; leaders must use power with temperance, justice, and accountability, not fear.
Security without liberty is tyranny. The best property is liberty; any seizure must be narrowly justified, sunset-limited, and subject to real accountability.
