In the most recent post, I referred to two new ways in which Federal and`State Governments are invading our privacy. Some wonder whether it is is a big deal. It isn't.
It is a gigantic deal. On a planet with 7,000,000,000 others, our privacy creates our own space, our own breathing space, which no one enters without permission...our permission. This space is so precious to us, that often there is a special area of our privacy which no one...family, friends, ministers, included... is ever permitted to enter.
Referring to intrusions into our very private space as "invasions of privacy" is a very apt term. It is an invasion far more potentially damaging than a military invasion could ever be, because it is where our spirit resides in solitary serenity...and the invasion seeks to destroy it.
America's recognition of an individual's right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness, is rooted in the right to privacy. We are each free to reveal that much of our most precious value...our inner being...as makes us happy. What that is is determined solely by each of us relative to our own lives. That the government, set up to guarantee our privacy to us, is the invader and destroyer of our privacy, is a treachery of the worst order.
I would strongly suggest that you advise all those in the political world that you will never ever bestow your vote on anyone who is a soldier in any such invasion.
