A Piece of Privacy
So I was chatting with a friend today and we started talking about the differences between the US and Canada.
We started by ranting about the new laws that tell government officials they can invade my privacy and I can do nothing about it. There has got to be a way for me and others like me to let the powers that be know we will not stand for this. The patriot act may help government to ferret terrorists but there has got to be a better way President Bush. The constitution and the bill of rights has given me the right to privacy and your patriot act has violates that right.
Millions have been spent on our right to free speech perhaps it is time to spend millions on our right to privacy!
I hate that argument I’d only oppose it if I had something to hide, people who use that argument did not live through the McCarthy era. Where an innocent housewife who was chatting with a friend was branded a communist because something she said was taken out of context! She was jailed and persecuted. Her friends were implicated and arrested and their friends etc. it was a mess!
Okay rant over but mark my words … they will not be far from what will happen because there are always those who will abuse the power for their own gain and we will suffer!
Ooh I sound like the voice of doom LOL maybe one Baileys too many???
