Private but unsafe does not make particular sense to me.

I am not surprised since about 67% of the population want a nanny-state.

"Fifty-one percent (51%) of Americans say that Security is more important than privacy. A Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey found that 29% disagree and say privacy is more important. Twenty percent (20%) are not sure." The "not sure" 20% are simply PC wimps who haven't yet figured out what is EXPECTED of them yet. Of the 29% who disagree almost all will reside firmly in the tinfoil papered ether of another world.

If you don't have security, you can kiss your privacy good-bye.
But, it's quite possible to have security and privacy.

People are addicted to government. They want the government to take care of them, protect them, provide for them.

I’ve heard there are few privacy concerns in a coffin.

We have security. We have nuclear equipped subs cruising around the ocean for our counter strike. It’s stupid to REALLY worry. It’s our way, or end game, in my estimation.

"Those who would give up Essential Liberty to purchase a little Temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety."Quote generally attributed to Benjamin Franklin
Another one from Poor Richard's Almanac that fits:
"Sell not virtue to purchase wealth, nor Liberty to purchase power."

Yeah okay, and 51% of Germans said the same thing in 1929. IIRC that thinking didn't turn out too well. (not sarcasm)

Safe and not free sounds like a prison to me.

Private but unsafe does not make particular sense to me. If the majority of American's think this then we are well on are way to becoming a third world socialist cess-pool. It saddens me to see how stupid this country is becoming.

I like it whenever the government baby sits my kids. They are the perfect nanny. They make sure my kids don't watch naughty or violent TV and that my kids don't do drugs. Too bad they didn't potty train the still diapered kids. Oh well. All hail the state!

Conversely, if you're free and not safe, then you're not really free.

Conversely, if you're free and not safe, then you're not really free. if you are truly free, you are free to make your own safety.

While people are saying, “Peace and safety,” destruction will come on them suddenly, as labor pains on a pregnant woman, and they will not escape.

No, we reside in a world where you get security by destroying threats to ones security rather than handing over all of ones freedoms to worthless sacks-of-crap politicians who promise to provide security...
