Precious liberty -- "Nothing to hide"

Politics – The assumption behind the "if you have nothing to hide" claim is that the authorities will always be benign, will always reliably identify and interfere with genuinely bad people only, will never find themselves engaging in "mission creep" with more and more uses to put their new powers to, and will not redefine crimes.

Bush and Cheney hide EVERYTHING. From secret meetings dividing up America among multi-national corporations, to e-mails.

THEY don't have to answer to scrutiny and THEY ARE THE ONES BREAKING SO MANY LAWS AND TRYING TO SABOTAGE OUR DEMOCRACY.

Wire-tap Bush and Cheney. They are hiding PLENTY.

Without the Right To Privacy our society is no different from the police states of Communist Russia or China.

The Constitution gives me the right to hide anything I want to that isn't being requested LEGALLY. Just because I feel like it. I've always felt that the Constitution of the USofA can best be summed up by the phrase "Mind Your Own Business".

When we have to prove we have a right, as opposed to the Government proving that they do, we have LOST AMERICA.
