So very true. The US is really idealogically split between those who value most essential liberty vs those who value security, even if the security is elusive and ultimately can't be guaranteed. I'm really not sure that can or will ever be reconciled - which leads to the US being fractured along those lines. Idealogically, we are already very fractured. The question I have is if this will somehow result in some sort of geographic or national split?
