don't public school records and income tax records do much the same
While there are many databases out there with a surprising amount of information about people, I find it foolish to willingly stuff a single file anywhere with a wealth of information.
Let them work for it it they want it, it's the American Way.
BTW, I didn't buy into the whole 'self disclosure' thingy in the '80s either.
If I don't see where any of that is anyone else's business, there is no need to just hand it out willy nilly.
The more detail you openly provide about yourself, the more easily that information can be used against you, by fraudsters, thieves, or others.
In a Governmental environment of rapidly changing rules not constrained by Constitutional authority except to pay scant lip-service to it, the words one types today are fair game to be used against you in the future.
There is no guarantee that what you own, eat, or do--or for that matter, say today will be legal tomorrow, and the ex post facto prohibition has already been breached.
So I don't Facebook.
