Imagine someone doing something that is a right listed in the Constitution. You have every right to do the thing they’re doing. Would you want to stamp out their ability to practice that activity? If you’re successful, you are giving up that right as well. Here’s an interesting video where people clamor to give up one of their first-amendment rights.

We need a thousand times as many first-amendment auditors to hold government accountable. We need people to dig into all the boring budgets and minutiae to expose wasteful and crooked government practices. People shouldn’t be mad at this guy, but thanking him for what he does. The purpose of the freedom of the press isn’t just to protect photography but to protect people’s right to hold the government’s feet to the fire. Photography is really just one of the most obvious and low-hanging fruits of the freedom of the press. Imagine how pissed off some of these government goons will get when they think some youtube dude is about to find out their scam they’ve been getting away with for years.

Of course, almost everyone has been educated by the government so no one knows their rights. Government has a vested interest in keeping people ignorant and apathetic about their rights.

And Happy Thanksgiving!
