said by ISurfTooMuch:So you have nothing to hide? OK then, please post the following information here:
Your phone call history for the past year.
...
Your credit card statements for the past year.
Last year's tax return.
The names and addresses of any organizations you've donated money to or performed paid or unpaid work for in the past year.
Since you have nothing to hide, I don't think you'll have any problem posting that info. Then we can determine if you're as innocent as you claim to be.
None of what you've listed would bother me if it were made public - our personal lives are sufficiently ordinary and disinteresting when it comes to matters of criminality and moral standards.
But our society continued to evolve towards a police state. We continue to criminalize or at least stigmatize ordinary behaviors, like ordering a Big Gulp, or thanks to Mr. Roberts, not buying health insurance.
What I might not need to hide today, could very well become tomorrow's prior offense.
What if we add to your list, my dietary consumption for 2012, including the source countries of my organic-approved foods (gotta count the carbon factor for the air freight), my laundry methods (credits for solar drying), cradle-to-grave recycling record, or a favorite not yet considered on this forum - overuse of "public" spectrum?
The people that make up rules to empower themselves will always find new reasons to punish and tax us all, unless we stop them. Unfortunately, the majority public are sheep, more than willing to surrender their sovereignty (and mine) for convenience and bribes.
