Some Unmeasurable Harms Done
Unfulfilled Potential
Due to denied opportunities, few people have the means to reach their fullest potential.
Denial of Universal Huan Rights
Ordinary Americans are denied their universal human rights declared by the United Nations in 1948; rights such as a standard of living adequate for the health and well-being of everyone, including food, clothing, housing, medical care and necessary social services, or the right to economic security during crises beyond the person's control.
Lost Peace and Democracy
The two biggest lost opportunities stolen from us are the chance for worldwide peace and to create a true democracy. My guess is that converting our entire national security budget every year into a peacetime budget would be more than enough to rebuild America into a civilized land of fulfilled people and to end our scavenging of the world. A peacetime budget would force weapons makers into making things useful for all of America, a conversion that could be made since the weapons makers know how to make things.
Had we not lost the opportunity, had our government, as prescribed in the Constitution, "provided for the general welfare" and not the welfare of the corpocracy, America would be a very different America today, an America in which its citizenry share power and wealth more equally, an educated America, an employed America, a healthy America, a happy America, and an America at peace with the world. Call this different America the "People's America".
The Loss of Privacy
Americans have lost their constitutional right to privacy and live in the land of the watched. The National Security Agency is the government's master spy agency that probably spies on us daily.
The Loss of Trust and Faith. How much trust or faith do you really have that the products and services you acquire have no faults given the "Gazette Sampler".
