The Patriot Post® · Freedom to Choose

John Stossel: “With … private, voluntary transactions, I can at least decide whether the risk is worth it. I don’t get to make that calculation when government decides it wants to know more about me. … [W]e don’t place an infinite value on privacy. Sometimes we’re willing to give up some of it – to friends, doctors, companies with whom we want to do business. What we really value is the freedom to choose when we’ll do that and when we’ll tell people to butt out. We can never tell government to butt out.”
