How Do You Balance Security & Freedom? [3]

Seems like a hard discussion. Ofcourse people have different views.. some believe that you must have security to ensure freedom. In class we did a simulation which helped me make my 2nd blog. That class activity is also helping me create this one. I believe that we should have both freedom and security. Yes, it should be balanced. The government ensures our security, but our freedom. Who limits are freedom? Is our freedom limited, even if it's protected in the first amendment? Protesting, should you be thrown in jail for a non-violent act? I think not, that just takes your freedom away.
