Very nice!  It is even more interesting to compare this with the British one:

It seems to me that British has not yet give up the concept of freedom for the sake of security yet!

I have also tried with the Chinese characters of freedom vs security as below:

It is such a pity that there is no separate version for traditional Chinese whose major population are in Taiwan and Hong Kong where the political and media institutions their enjoy a much higher level of freedom.

I was just playing with this... remarkable.   Someone should do the
same with Wikipedia's text over time, which would provide even crisper
comparisons [as within categories].
