Yeah, I was being facetious - I'm not totally against the idea, although I don't know how it might actually work in practice. Rights of the individual are all good and well, but they only work when we collectively agree not to be complete and utter assholes to each other for personal gain. That's sort of the whole point of laws and regulations, right? Not to further the interest of whatever special interest group has captured the regulatory agency. Like, I expect people not to butt into my personal business for no good reason, but I recognize that that expectation is predicated on me not unreasonably intruding on other peoples' affairs.
