How is America a free country if someone can know relatively
any and everything about who you are and what you do? I think it’s about time
that we as an entire nation realize that we are not really as free as we think
we are. Imagine for example if we had a president who believed that any act
that they performed should be considered legal because of the single fact that
they were president. Can you imagine the power that one person could have and
hold over people? Just think if in the future we had a president that believed
they in fact could do so. Some might say that this is impossible, but just
think about our current nominations running for president right now.
On both republican and democratic sides the leaders, Hilary
Clinton and Donald Trump, are in my opinion horrible candidates. One is an absolute crook who should be
inedited and arrested, and the other is trying to deport essentially everyone
from the US that isn’t a white American. Imagine what is going to happen if one
of them takes the oval office. The outcomes are crazy to think what could
happen to our privacy rights.
This is why it is time for the entire nation to come
together to have an extremely important discussion about how we can balance the
protection of the American people while at the same exact time respect people’s
privacy. As an American citizen we have constitutional rights that are given to
us in order to protect our privacy. I for one don’t want to live in a world
where I have to constantly worry about what I am doing in private, because
someone could possibly be watching. We need to find a way that will maintain
how the United States is a free society.
Its great to speak about freedom and how the US is the land
of the free and home of the brave, but what is freedom now a days? My
definition of freedom is the right to do what I want when I want without
harming another person of course. If I want to email or text a someone personal
information about my life then I should be able to do so knowing that the
information wont be seen by anybody else but who I intended the receiver to be.
That is what freedom and privacy should be.
