The ACLU has to be commended when they do right, and I have to admit, this video is pretty good.
Information technology is just getting too good, and we’re going to have to learn to live with other people knowing a lot about us, but we should be very fearful of a confluence of information technology in both public and private hands enabling a meddlesome government to be even more meddlesome. It will be very hard, and I’m not sure even a net public good, to prevent private entities from sharing information, but we must be very wary of government getting into the game, especially if they decide to declare themselves the only provider of health care.
