Unknown Achievements in the 1st 100



Some of these are a bit controversial.  I am guessing that the digital medical records, though likely inevitable, is the one most likely to stir up concern and conjecture.  If it's easier to share good information, it will be easier to make and copy mistakes, breach privacy, and expose people to possible discrimination on the basis of their private health concerns.

One more hurdle for the 21st Century.

On other notes:
Most of the other provisions would seem to be positive and relatively non-partisan.  Helping roads, schools, cities, and general government transparency are necessarily good ideas and long overdue.

Unless, of course, you feel differently, venerable early subscriber to my new blog.
