Nobody understands the US. The "US" is, literally "us", as in "we", as in "we, the people". The "government has no powers of it's own except the powers it receives from "we the people". And, "we, the people" put our concerns right up front in the Bill of Rights: "...congress shall make no law... abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press..." Period. "...no law..." End of story. Got that backwards - that's concerning "we the people", the public, having the right private information, not trying to make public information private! And, what exactly is a "private figure" anyway? _______________________________________________ WikiEN-l mailing list WikiEN-l(a)lists.wikimedia.org To unsubscribe from this mailing list, visit: http://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikien-l
