If you don't trust your elected representatives, don't elect them in the first place. If people are stupid enough to elect an idiot as their President, whose fault is that?

I didn't vote for Cameron and neither did most of the population of Britain. The First Past the Post system makes it possible for him to be in power with a minority.

Well, you obviously missed my point, which was to illustrate that at all levels of human society, it is not necessarily desirable that everyone knows everything about everyone else, which seems to be the way this over-inquisitive, sensationalism-driven, media-dominated world is heading.

Ok, maybe you didn't mean "parents" literally and you're right about the media. I made that point earlier. If Wikileaks is indiscriminate, then that's wrong. However, as I've already said: there are some things that open government makes more accessible, such as human rights. I stick by my point that I DO want to know if the privileged white men in suits who have been given power to make decisions are sanctioning torture.
