Comment: Not different at all

The question has boiled down to how to remove the incentives for others to do things that shouldn't be done. I think we've gotten past the part where I'm accused of suggesting we eliminate privacy.

So, on the incentives issue, removing the reason why Mexicans come here will stop most of them from doing so. Likely to the point that their immigration is below our national policy limits and the issue can then be handled by cutting bureaucratic red tape.

Removing the incentives for people to desire our private info would similarly remove most of them from going after it as well. We just have to be clear that there are two ways to remove an incentive. We can legislate it as illegal (or pass laws that the government can't do it) or we can de-fund whatever profit stream the criminals benefit from by using it. Each separate issue has their own set of money trails but I'll use just one as an example.

"There will always be some .. politician who wants to pass a law..."
Ok, fine. So we ask why they would want to. Does Senator Jones really have a lifetime quest to change his pet behavior? No. He absolutely does not. In 99.9999% of the cases, he was lobbied to support and then handed that bill. So, our investigation has led back to the lobbyists and we must ask why they do it.

For money again, from Acme corporation. Is it practical to chase down and stop it at this stage? Maybe, but probably not. Congress won't change this rule unless a vast majority of the people are really pissed and organized against it. Unlikely so far. So why do the companies do this bribery?

For money again, from increased profits and total market controlled monopolies. Ok, so change that? Never. ...say most people. But wouldn't it take less people to put Acme out of business than to change the lobbying laws? People boycotted BoA a couple years ago and dropped their stock about 5-10% in just 2 days. They didn't fall because we let off but what if we hadn't? What if we had an organized voice that said "Hey Monsanto, stop all GMO or we'll permanently boycott every company you have contact with." Who wouldn't join that battle? (Only sharmers - sleeping sheep farmers)

So, you see if we follow the trail far enough, every issue does have a level of accountability to the general public. We just have to stay vigilant and cohesive in targeting that bulls-eye.
