The Power To Do Good....

>>What you folks are saying is that power to do good things has too many negative POSSIBILITIES which make you uncomfortable. So you'd much rather they didn't have the ability (or power) to do their job so you could sleep better at night. Am I following your arguement correctly?>>

....is possessed by ALL.

But very few practice this.

The government's record on "good" is not very good. Why does DC ranks last in crime and education - right next door? If the US government's model actually GAVE or CREATED positive energy then DC would be right up there at the top of the list for there'd be a ripple effect.

Less government usually means more freedom and more progress in the private sector. The Welfare Reform Act is a good recent example.

I think people should take responsibility for securing the virtual Kindgom.

Evangalisation of products like DigitalMe is a good first step.

If I take the step to secure my identity or identities via DigitalMe, then those who don't secure their virtual vaults are the ones to be watched by all of us.

If individuals don't step into this security vacuum, then government WILL.

CESA is a perfect example of BIG Brother knocking. When he knocks, watch your wallet and check your freedom barometer. Both tend to get impacted negatively when government takes on anything.

As far as "doing their job is concerned" there should be extreme check and balances to prevent them from crossing the line in ways which restrict our freedoms.

Peace.

GO!!
