All information should be free! For good or ill, warts and all! Any information about an individual person, regardless about how "confidential", "sensitive", "medical" or whatever, should be made available to that person if s/he requests to see it. Personally, I don't see what right
anybody has to hold information about another without first seeking that person's permission. People moan about copyright ... well what about the rights to a person's personal information? There's far too much of this ***** going on. Compulsory ID cards and DNA databases are just around the corner. All for our own good, of course (after all, Nanny
does know best)!
The way things are going in this so-called
democracy of ours (
eg, where our Great Wise Leader is un-elected, and we're spied on by 4 million cameras,
etc., etc.), next thing you know there will be yet another Government Agency, this time called the
STASI! We, the Good Citizens (aka Sheep), are already being encouraged to spy upon our neighbours, all in the name of the "threat of terrorism" (not to mention "wheelie bin wars")! That's usually how it starts (check your history books ... while you're still allowed to have 'em, that is).
