The Price of Freedom In A COVID World Share this post: There is a saying, commonly attributed to late US President Thomas Jefferson, that ‘The price of liberty is eternal vigilance.’ There is no period in our modern history where that becomes more relevant. I hope by now people begin to realize just how tenuous and precious a thing liberty and freedom of choice is and all that is required to snatch it away is a scribble of a pen, or a word, by those in ‘power’. This pandemic has revealed to us just how easy it is for us to lose those hard-fought rights almost overnight – albeit for a unique and arguably justified reason in this instance.
