Its very simple like a very simple long ago when this nation was actually worth caring about We the People set up the government for us by our consent now because of the sheeple and idiotic American people our government is now ruling us like we are slaves , so I got one question what world do we live in where they can break the laws and then prosecute somebody (Snowden) for telling the people that they are breaking the laws am I missing something here ....
We need privacy because the law can be wrong and need to be challenged at times (take Rosa Parks and the race segregation laws for instance).
We need privacy because the legal framework doesn't reflect the constitution at times.
We should have a government of the people, by the people, for the people. Increasingly. it seems we have a government of the lobbyists and political elite, by the lobbyists and political elite, and for the lobbyists and political elite.
"The law perverted! And the police powers of the state perverted along with it! The law, I say, not only turned from its proper purpose but made to follow an entirely contrary purpose! The law become the weapon of every kind of greed! Instead of checking crime, the law itself guilty of the evils it is supposed to punish!
If this is true, it is a serious fact, and moral duty requires me to call the attention of my fellow-citizens to it."
- Frederic Bastiat, The Law, 1848
