By Matthew Hayward Memorial Day Reflections: A Civil Libertarian's Perspective Every year on the last Monday of May, the United States observes Memorial Day, a day to honor and remember the men and women who have given their lives in service to the nation. As a civil libertarian, I approach this holiday with a profound sense of respect and contemplation. These brave individuals fought for the liberties we cherish as American citizens, from the freedom of speech to the right to privacy. However, are we truly upholding the values they died for? One key question I grapple with is whether we, as a society, are disrespecting their sacrifices by taking our liberties for granted and allowing them to be gradually eroded. It seems that we often forget the struggles endured by our ancestors for the freedoms we enjoy today.

Albert Einstein was right when he said, "Few people are capable of expressing with equanimity opinions which differ from the prejudices of their social environment. Most people are even incapable of forming such opinions."
