The Preamble to the Constitution of the United States
guarantees our rights as citizens to life, liberty, and the
pursuit of happiness. Liberty means freedom from persecution.
Sometimes, it is what we don't know as opposed to what we know
that disturbs us the most.
In most cases, fear of the unknown can represent a clear and
present danger to us. The world is a great big place, and we are
liable to meet all sorts of people during our lifetimes - most
mean us well, but a few do wish us harm.
It is against these people that we must indemnify ourselves,
our loved ones and our assets. In the vast majority of these
interpersonal relationships, we don't become aware of a person's
evil intentions until it is too late. In these cases, we may
lose our personal identity and, in some cases, our lives as we
previously had known.
