    When was the last time you ever saw the "balance" go in any direction other than toward greater power for govts, bureaucrats and coppers?

        Take a look at the wet behind the ears advisors fresh out of university the Government are relying on for this balance.

        When your political system is full of people who believe government is the solution to every problem why would they vote for less power?

        honest answer : 1999 when US Export controls on "strong" encryption were removed. It happened because of money, not privacy.

        Calls for "balance" only helps those with power. Based on the false belief that all are starting on a level playing field.
