I'm inclined to agree with you, but I have a few issues: 1) Nobody will ever be on the same playing field. There will always be someone who needs special closed-door meetings because "state-secrets" or "to catch the bad guys" or whatever. I think it is just too easy to abuse by those in power for them to let it slip by. 2) We'd need to stop treating criminals or outsiders as "bad" people first. Example: We need to treat violent offenders as people who don't fit in well with our non-violent society, rather than horrible people who need locked away and punished. We'd have to start recognizing that people who don't fit in well are often products of our culture, and we need to do more to support them. 3) I think the social changes would be drastic, for good and bad. Example: We'd start to realize how, statistically, everyone watches porn from time to time, and what types they watch. There's way too much social stigma out there right now for me to think that would end well.
