• Capitalism is based on self-interest and self-esteem; it holds integrity and trustworthiness as cardinal virtues and makes them pay off in the marketplace, thus demanding that men survive by means of virtue, not vices. It is this superlatively moral system that the welfare statists propose to improve upon by means of preventative law, snooping bureaucrats, and the chronic goad of fear.

  Alan Greenspan

  Integrity, Self Esteem, Mean

• A man is likely to mind his own business when it is worth minding. When it is not, he takes his mind off his own meaningless affairs by minding other people's business.This minding of other people's business expresses itself in gossip, snooping and meddling, and also in feverish interest in communal, national and racial affairs. In running away from ourselves we either fall on our neighbor's shoulder or fly at his throat.

• The government can now delve into personal and private records of individuals even if they cannot be directly connected to a terrorist or foreign government. Bank records, e-mails, library records, even the track of discount cards at grocery stores can be obtained on individuals without establishing any connection to a terrorist before a judge. According to the Los Angeles Times, Al Qaeda uses sophisticated encryption devices freely available on the Internet that cannot be cracked. So the terrorists are safe from cyber-snooping, but we're not.

• Los redactores de nuestra Constitución comprendieron los peligros de la vigilancia gubernamental desenfrenada. Sabían que la democracia sólo podía florecer en espacios libres del fisgoneo y la interferencia del gobierno, y pusieron límites a la extralimitación gubernamental en la Cuarta Enmienda de la Carta de Derechos. . . . Estas protecciones requieren, como mínimo, un árbitro neutral -un magistrado- que se interponga entre el deseo infinito de información del gobierno y el deseo de privacidad de los ciudadanos.
