It's well to declaim :

To what avail
The plow or sail
Or land, or life
If Freedom fail ?

John Donne's sentiments are indeed worthwhile; but I feel constrained to add:

And yet
Should Freedom's castle fall
I fear we'd have
No rights at all !

[Orion]

What's your point?

Do we have to give up freedoms, to keep freedom?
Do we have to run "left" to run "right?"
Do we just do everything the gov't says, and we will all be just fine?
