The Illusion of Safety

posted by Bill Sharon on December 21, 2009

There is an assumption that one of the fundamental purposes of government is to provide for the safety of its citizens. One could argue that Americans enjoy that safety. There have been no terrorist attacks in the US since 9/11 and the crime rates in most cities have been declining for years. Although the world seems to be as uncertain a place as we have ever known in this generation we all operate as though we can get through our lives relatively unscathed. Yet we have more people in prison than any other country in the world and we manage to shoot and kill each other at rates that dwarf those in any other developed nation. Safety, it would seem, depends on your perspective.
