Have you ever noticed that when you see your personal data displayed that it is wrong? Just an occasional look at your credit report to insure that no one has stolen your identity shows how screwed up the data can be. The government has data too, but for the most part it is all garbage. Some believe that the governments databases are so full of junk that they are completely irrelevant. If this is the case and of course we all know it is, then may I ask how come they are using these databases at all? What we need is a way to abandon old archived databases of junk information to protect citizens from bad profiling by authorities and costly investigations tracing down bogus data. If we archive the old databases into a trash can type system, then we can save it if we ever really need it. But if someone ever is working on a case and finds the bogus data and checks it out, then it must be deleted because as it stands there is way too much garbage in government and business databases and we need to discharge it if we are to move on in any meaningful way. How can we go thru all this data that is bogus and obviously corrupted? How can we fix this problem? It seems the only way is to just start over with fresh data. Consider all this in 2006. |
