Showing Original Post only (View all)Why do some people want total transparency of all politicians,but cry privacy for themselves? [View all]
it seems hypocritical to me for those that admire the hackers publishing everything
and yet hate a newspaper printing the names of NRA members when those donating to politicans are an open book
If everything was out in the open, nobody would have anything to hide, the world would be
a better place.
(btw-for some who in another thread said if your medical records were exposed you could lose your insurance, well, that is why insurance for all should be manditory. IMHO).
Same if some congressman has to be transparent 24/7 so should any other profession.
And it would be a good thing

Politicans are common people. The original intent was for everyone to be part of the system

They are us, voting for us. They don't have any power, just majority rules.

I don't care about privacy. If society were more of an open book, we'd be better off. nt
