All That Remain’s singer wants freedom duing interview. Phil Labonte said:

“Let’s talk about freedom. What is freedom and what does being free imply? Freedom isn’t given. It doesn’t come from being American, British, Canadian, or being from any other ‘free’ country. It is the natural state that all creatures are born into. The only time freedom is taken away is when it benefits someone or something else to take it. Yet every day, people all over the world give up their freedom in small doses.

“To arbitrarily give up your freedom, even in small amounts, invites despotism and tyranny. And it doesn’t take long. Hitler took power in less than a generation, and were it not for the people from many other nations who took a stand, he may have taken over all of Europe. Thomas Jefferson said, ‘All tyranny needs to gain a foothold is for people of good conscience to remain silent.’ Few statements have been truer.

“Your government (any government) is the first establishment that will try to take your freedoms. Every piece of legislation that is passed takes a little bit of your freedom away. Thomas Paine, author of ‘Common Sense’ said, ‘Society in any state is a blessing. Government, even in its best state, is but a necessary evil; in its worst state, an intolerable one.’ Freedom needs to be protected by all who have it and by any means necessary.”
