Question

Just wondering about the quote at the bottom of your posts, it is a little confusing in the second part. Is there some punctuation missing? Could you explain it to me, please, I know it is something about a price for freedom being worth whatever it costs just a little confused on some of the pronouns and their meanings. Thanks, Devon.

My read:

"We must be willing to pay a price for freedom, for no price that is ever asked for [freedom] is half the cost of doing without [freedom]."

That's my read, too, Camron. Gotta pay for freedom, cuz no matter how much you pay for it, it's a whole lot cheaper than what you'll pay without it.
