What is surprising is that so many ordinary American citizens tolerate without protest the most shameless invasion of their privacy. … A man’s sex life, political views, and childhood relationship with his mother are his own business, and nobody else’s. The proper response about such matters is a loud, positive: “IT’S NONE OF YOUR LOUSY BUSINESS.”
Stewart Alsop (1914-1974) American newspaper columnist and political analyst
“It’s None of Your Lousy Business,” Saturday Evening Post (13 Jun 1964)
