The revelations that Obama administration secretly collected phone records and accessed the internet activity of millions of Americans have raised new questions about the public's willingness to sacrifice civil liberties in the interests of national security. Since 9/11, Americans generally have valued protection from terrorism over civil liberties, yet they also have expressed concerns over government overreach and intrusions on their personal privacy.

Some schools believe that wearing uniforms had reduced rates of gang and violence. However, some parents, and the American Civil Liberties Union, believe that requiring uniforms violates civil liberties.

This is a great article about the blatant civil liberties of the US constitution being ignored by the people we are suppose to be trusting the most, the police. If there were ever a time to sit back and take a look at what the cost of personal freedom for our national security is it would be now.

What Edward Snowden has done is to force a long repressed debate about how much liberty, if any, we need to sacrifice in order to protect our security. Before his leaks, that urgent conversation was a non-debate because the violations of liberty were being done entirely in secret, beyond the reach of democratic deliberation.

This article touches on both gay marriage and polygamy, comparing and contrasting the two. It alludes that polygamy would be the next practice to be legalized if gay marriage is legalized. It also discusses how removing the religious aspect from marriage may lead to removing the religious aspect from human culture, leading to a totalitarian society.

This tells the pros to why prostitution should be legalized. Some including improving neighborhoods and safety, reducing crime, puts law enforcement to better use, and it promotes liberty and privacy. But as we all know there are cons that go with it. You will have cons with everything. This article is good to read if you have an open mind. Some of the ideas do make sense.

The right to freedom of religion is so central to American democracy that it was enshrined in the First Amendment to the Constitution along with other fundamental rights such as freedom of speech and freedom of the press. In order to guarantee an atmosphere of absolute religious liberty, this country's founders also mandated the strict separation of church and state.
