The foia exist because some people had the idea that in a well functioning republic there might be some use in a certain amount of transparency in the government. Perhaps there are people who attempt to misuse such information. For you to claim that the purpose of the foia is to give nosy busybodies something to do is ridiculous. The existence of homosexuality and abortion will ensure that nosy busybodies are occupied for the rest of eternity.

Or that the founding fathers envisioned an institution that served the people that put it there, not the other way around...although i've come to the conclusion that alan feels that we should be servitors to the government so we can sit under its blanket of protection and be all safe and sound as we're told what to do.
