Privacy is soon to be a myth
Here is just the latest attempt to get us use to the idea of taking away our privacy in order to have more "security". Lets look at the foundations of our country here is the US, because you are nothing with out foundations and history. The Quatering act was one of the many reasons that the American patriots wanted their independence. This was an act that allowed the British to station troops in civilian homes in order to keep peace and have beds for their troops. The American patriots fought this because that this meant that the British can spy on anyone at anytime they may want. The Americans wanted to protect their privacy and protect themselves from random searches and spying by British troops. Now if our founding fathers had to resist that tyranny over 200 years ago, then why don't we fight the 21st century version of the something? We all must learn from history. Don't forget who we were because it still is who we are.
We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. --That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, --That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn, that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security. ÂSuch has been the patient sufferance of these Colonies; and such is now the necessity which constrains them to alter their former Systems of Government.
-Portion of the 2nd paragraph of The Declaration of Independence
This is the responsiblity that we have been charged with by our founding fathers. They fought the largest and most powerful empire in the world and left us with this dream of freedom. They carefully constructed the rules to guide the educated to freedom, but now we don't know our past or present, leaving us at the mercy of those who do know and do have the hieghtened greed to manipulate us. Stand up for you rights! Stand up for your freedoms! Stand up for who we are as a people before we completely lose our way. Tryants have always taken away a people's history to conquer them.
