Consider all the things man has invented that are dangerous or can be dangerous if used improperly. Throughout history man has taken steps to regulate these things. Today we have cars and airplanes that can only be operated legally by people who meet certain qualifications. Likewise modern science provides us with a wide range of medications that greatly benefit many people but require control because the medicines can cause great harm if used improperly. For those examples, and countless others, we accept controls. They are considered reasonable and rational. |

TO REMEMBER |
| "And how we burned in the camps later, thinking: What would things have been like if every Security operative, when he went out at night to make an arrest, had been uncertain whether he would return alive and had to say good-bye to his family? Or if, during periods of mass arrests, as for example in Leningrad, when they arrested a quarter of the entire city, people had not simply sat there in their lairs, paling in terror at every bang of the downstairs door and at every step on the staircase, but had understood they had nothing left to lose and had boldly set up in the downstairs hall an ambush of half a dozen people with axes, hammers, pokers, or whatever else was at hand? [...] The Organs would very quickly have suffered a shortage of officers and transport and, notwithstanding all of Stalin's thirst, the cursed machine would have ground to a halt!" —Alexander Solzhenitsyn, The Gulag Archipelago (Chapter 1 "Arrest") |
