Hot Tub Privacy Lens of Liberty
-
- Política
A couple I know was sitting in their hot tub, in the privacy of their secluded back
yard, when suddenly a man with a clipboard came wandering onto their patio,
looking around and taking notes. They asked what he was doing, and he identified
himself as an inspector from the Homeowner’s Association. He claimed the right
to go anywhere on any property, with or without the owner’s permission, anytime
he wants. But these homeowners look through the lens of liberty, and they
understand their right to privacy, enshrined in the Bill of Rights. They know that in
America, all governments – including local homeowners associations – only get
power from the consent of the governed. If your right to privacy doesn’t matter to
you, it certainly doesn’t matter to anyone else – what have you allowed in your
neighborhood?
