The amount of power you have over other people should have an exactly inverse relationship to your right to privacy. The more power you have, the less secrecy you should be entitled to. Once your power reaches governmental level, that secrecy should be zero.

How crazy is it that we've allowed people to have power over us and also keep secrets from us? And then let them shame us and punish us when we try to work out what they're up to behind that wall of opacity? That's bat shit insane.

Nobody running any government should be allowed to have secrets. Yes, this will mean fewer people interested in getting into government. That's as it should be. It shouldn't be enticing. It's meant to be a vocation, dedicated to public SERVICE. Public servants, private citizens.
