It is. As Courtney said, the price of freedom is eternal vigilance. In other words, knowing that the worst elements of free society will always try to use that freedom against us. The positive side being that we can use that same freedom to help keep them from crossing those boundaries. The advent of 24/7 social media has helped on both of those fronts, though I think it hurts the worst elements more because it's tougher for them to deny that they said or planned something horrible when their words are bouncing around the cloud.
"Well, evolution is a theory. It is also a fact. And facts and theories are different things, not rungs in a hierarchy of increasing certainty. Facts are the world's data. Theories are structures of ideas that explain and interpret facts. Facts don't go away when scientists debate rival theories to explain them. Einstein's theory of gravitation replaced Newton's in this century, but apples didn't suspend themselves in midair, pending the outcome. And humans evolved from ape- like ancestors whether they did so by Darwin's proposed mechanism or by some other yet to be discovered."
