The recent letter titled, “Instead of complaining about imaginary rights, help us all get through the crisis,” makes me sick to my stomach. As a military veteran who took an oath to uphold the constitution, I am confused by this reader’s assertion that our rights are “imaginary.” They are actually inalienable and written very clearly in the constitution, therefore, far from imaginary. I understand the reader’s concern for the safety of the people and himself, but we must be careful as a society not to give up these rights at times like this. After 9/11 we all gave up a lot of our privacy rights and we are seeing the abuses of that with the FISA court issues. |

TO REMEMBER |
| ...If a man lies under oath or procures the lie of another under oath, if he perjures himself or suborns perjury, he is guilty under the statute law. Under the higher law, under the great law of morality and righteousness, he is precisely as guilty if, instead of lying in a court, he lies in a newspaper or on the stump; and in all probability, the evil effects of his conduct are infinitely more widespread and more pernicious. — Teddy Roosevelt - May 12, 1900 |
