“How complacent we become when we sit secure, hedged round by laws and protections a government may provide! How soon we forget that but for these governments and laws, there would be naught but savagery, brutality and starvation! For our age-old enemies await us always, just beyond our thin walls. Hunger, thirst and cold lie waiting there, and forever among us are those would loot, rape and maim, rather than behave as civilized men. If we sit secure this hour, this day, it is because the thin walls of the law stand between us and evil.” – Louis L’Amour, Fair Blows the Wind, p. 5-6)
