From tiny-little ideas, high-flown rhetoric, Brophy makes a point

In the era of torture memos, government spying and secret rendition, Republican Sen. Greg Brophy is blogging about "surrendering liberties" in response to laws that would regulate phoning-while-driving. "It’s all about liberty and logical thinking," he writes, reaching for the stars. "The banning of cell phone usage is an affront... Liberty cannot be surrendered without careful consideration. Society must benefit greatly from the surrender of liberty and in this case society doesn’t, so it is just an unwanted and unnecessary infringement."
