Privacy is fundamental in an open democracy.I'm trying to picture one of those old-fashioned (or not so old-fashioned where I live) New England town meetings — the epitome of democracy I think my high school civics book said – everybody sitting around with hoods over their heads. It's just not working. The hoods conjure something decidedly anti-democratic. Maybe this guy is confusing anonymity with privacy, but then does "anonymous democracy" make any sense at all?
Sorry, Slate guy, you've lost me there.
