The choice that gets at the heart of liberalism

Ed D. writes:

Here is a simple thought exercise for liberals and mainstream conservatives:

1. Freedom
2. Security
3. Diversity

Choose any two of the above.

You can have diversity and freedom, but you will have no security.
You can have diversity and security, but you will have no freedom.
You can have freedom and security, but you will have no diversity.

What do you value most?

Robert C. writes:

I would have freedom and security because that would look like the old and hopefully the future United States of America.

If I wanted security and diversity, I would have to live in Singapore.

However, our present society just has diversity without freedom or security.
