RE: Nghe An: Simultaneously putting the sign "NO photography, NO video recording"
Hi how are you?
Thank for your reppy.!
Communism & Socialism
When I talked to Vietnamese, they told me that they believe that Vietnam is owned by all the citizens of Vietnam. Well, so, I would ask them questions about it.
Their belief is correct, but can you ask them, that they have full owner rights?
Private vs Public
I think government privacy and secrecy should have, but should only be limited to issues that are detrimental to national security, secrets in so many fields prove they do the wrong thing. And the infrequent commune committee headquarters is home to national security issues.
Transparency
I wonder how many Vietnamese understand the value in transparency that government should have and that people should be allowed to film in public places.
I'm sure it makes up a small percentage.
Public
Similarly, it accounts for a very low percentage. Otherwise Vietnam would have a different face.
Some Info Should Be Secret, Perhaps.
I'm good. So, yes, perhaps, some government information should be secret or classified, but that may depend on what kind of information and it may depend on how the information was gather. For example, in America, we have the 4th amendment which is in the constitution which is all about privacy. Now U.S. government agencies have been spying on Americans. That is unconstitutional. Now, the question might be whether the information they stole from the Americans should be private or public. It should be private. But the problem is that they stole info that should be private. So, in a way, personal info became public as they take the info and as they share the info with different agencies.
Politicians
The laws, bills, codes, acts, rules, etc, probably should be public. The military probably should have some secrets in order to protect the borders of their country. So, the government may need to keep some secrets. The problem is when government is not held accountable and when it grows. As it grows, their secrets can help them grow more and more. Secrets can be dangerous when there is not enough democracy, a republic, an ability to talk, to debate, to vote. Like if the people, if the Vietnamese citizens could vote and decide that they want nobody to be allowed to record and film and take photos in government buildings, then at least that is what the Vietnamese people want. The problem is if many many many Vietnamese were to vote and demand that they be allowed to film in government buildings if the government then said no, you cannot. The government should probably comply to what the people want to some extent. Well, that is a democracy. Well, a republic is a little different than a democracy. But at least a democracy can be better than socialism, communism, etc, at least.
