Comment power balance (Score 2, Insightful) 97
How much trust do you have for the average person on the street? Would you trust them to bring your lost wallet back to you with all the cash in it you had? The problem with Government, with Police, with anyone in power, is that they are humans, with all the same flaws as you and me, and then some. Many are nosey, greedy, and most of all, attracted to power and all that it entails. I'm not saying this is universal.
The question isn't "what am I trying to hide?" It's "why do you want to know?" Imbalance of knowledge=Imbalance of power
