Loosing freedom

People are willing to sacrifice freedom to achieve stability. This is my premise. Assuming this premise, follow the logic below.

If you want to take away people's freedom, start knocking the tears of stability away from their society. As these beams fall, people will cry for someone to come along and take away their freedoms in the name of stability.

This has got to be why so many smaller countries seem like they are about to spontaneously combust. The elite class wants to give just the right appearance of a balance between a place suitable for investment or at least exploitation and unstable enough to convince the people of the country that their lack of freedom is required or all will descend in to chaos.

I fear this process is what is happening to the U. S. A.. Time will tell. I see it coming. The only savior will be the American people. Any one else is trying to sell us something.
