Climate of Fear

Dear Mr. Tan
I wish to share the following:


1) " When the people fear their government, there is tyranny; when the government fears the people, there is liberty."

Thomas Jefferson (1743-1826)- 3rd President of USA

2) " Every government degenerates when trusted to the rulers of the people alone. The people themselves, therefore, are its only safe depositories."
Thomas Jefferson (1743-1826)- 3rd President of USA
