"Essential" and "temporary"! Hmm, those two words sort of have an impact on the complete quote, don't they?

| i think that is the complete point of the quote. what gives it even more "oomph" is the word "little." it does not say complete safety, it says a "little temporary safety" which speaks volumes. i can only hope that what actually NEEDS to be done, IS being done. we will never really know for sure. trust the government? not in my lifetime and damn sure not ANY government.
thank you for listening.
