On the Fact that if the Government Can Remove Your Rights In a Time of "Crisis", a) They Probably Aren't Rights at All but Rather Permissions and b) oh My Lord What a Powerful Incentive for that Same Government to Create Additional Crises

For more on this I recommend the seminal Robert Higgs volume, "Crisis and Leviathan", in which he shows how government uses various "emergencies" as an excuse to ratchet-up its power............and that while they sometimes relinquish some of the power once the crisis passes, they never EVER relinquish it all. A big problem.
