I agree here also. And who is to know when some different group will
decide to outlaw something that *was* legal - and make it retroactive?

Who is watching the watchers?

I am not ready to live in a fishbowl. Yet I work in a place where
everything is videorecorded.

What recourse would we have when our private lives are made public for
public entertainment or ridicule or legal action? None?

Some folks don't have enough to do.
