Therefore, the analogy comparing governments to parents and minor children to citizens does not stand. Also, speaking specifically about the current illegal wiretapping scheme, there is a legal way to do it, and even to obtain a retroactive warrant. Why the government chooses not to pursue legal avenues for this is beyond me. A quote by Benjamin Franklin comes to mind: <em>"Those who sacrifice liberty for security deserve neither."</em> Glad you like my blog and took a moment to post your thoughts! :) However, a parent’s right to limit their children’s freedom is only valid until children reach a certain age; parents may not dictate terms to their adult children.

I believe there is right and wrong because there is purpose in life much like there is purpose in the calendar which guided the programming. Any programming outside of that purpose would be a virus or bug which you would exert much effort to eradicate what is wrong. Effort must be made to circumvent destructive acts.
