The influence of DNA in crime prevention is underestimated - we must stand up for the DNA database | LabourList.org
I find this among the most disturbing articles I have ever read on LabourList.
Government is a function of out lives as people and communities. We do not exist as functions of government.
From the perspective of this contributor there is no conceivable reason why the entire population should not be DNA tested, and totalitarian control imposed.
Here is why that should not happen. Government can be a force for good, but often oppressive people (elected or appointed) gain access to state and/or police power. Those people often (on any fair reading of history) act a forces of oppression.
While we need to advocate for the use of government as a force for good, we need to be aware that government can be oppressive.
Mr. Zarb-Cousin wants to turn us all into a sort of URL for the government to control.
That's dreadful.
It's much better to preserve freedom, even if some crimes go unpunished.
