Thought IS sacred because it is thought. Your thoughts define you, they are an integral part of you. Thoughts can not be separated from the person. If you mess with someone's thoughts, you destroy their individuality and begin to mold them into something else.
A literal thought police would be truly horrifying.
My opinions belong to me, and even if they could be detected, nobody has any right to censor or modify them, or to punish me for them.
