People love to talk about their 1st and 2nd amendment rights. Both very important, but there are other amendments to the constitution. One that sticks out in my mind right now given the current things going on with government surveillance is the 4th Amendment.
The 4th Amendment is as follows:
The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no warrants shall issue, but on probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the person or things to be seized.
The ironic thing about the revelation that the US government is spying on you is that you gave them the right to do so with The Patriot Act. Politicians said it will make you safer and no one read the fine print.They tell us what they are, and are not using it for...no worries. However, the real point is what they could use it for isn't it?
While you are worried about gun control and free speech they took the entire game right under your noses. It is called misdirection. When someone wants to do something with their right hand they don't want you to see then they do something else with the left hand to distract you. ALAKAZAM.....it worked real well here. Much like the attendees at a magic show everyone is left scratching their heads.
I think Benjamin Franklin said it best, "Those who would give up essential liberties to purchase a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty of safety."
