Galt and hold2file make valid points...jose not so much.
I think it would be helpful to look at the European privacy model and realize that there are those that recognize and appreciate the importance of finding a BALANCE (did you hear me say BALANCE?) of personal privacy and public responsibility. These people not only recognize and appreciate that balance, but are willing to codify it into sensible and enforceable laws that actually have some teeth.
Wish I could say the same about the good ol' US of A, but that's not going to happen with the current scofflaws who run the Whitehouse and their flaccid and ineffectual counterparts in Congress (I'm referring to both parties I might add).
Until sensible men and women stand up in positions of leadership and work for change, we can only expect more infringement of personal information, the loss of millions of personal data records thru corporate neglect, and continued and unrestrained identity theft. It's sad that we have fallen so far from greatness... | | Nick | | Date: 2008-04-21, 10:00 GMT |
