Open Sourcing Our "Rights of Participation"
Our cherished concept of a "right to privacy" is evolving -- perhaps evolving away. But is it really leaving? Or is it returning to its roots? Privacy was not included in our core rights but instead evolved from commerical interests. "Rights of Participation" are evolving in their place.
Idea Description
Our founding parents did not include what we call our rights of privacy in the Constitution, nor directly in any other founding documents. Though presumed to underlie the rights we were given, what we know cherish as so fundamental really came about specifically to protect commercial interests. Now, in light of both the virtual world of connectivity and the growing potentialities of socially responsible business thinking and investment, shouldn't we at least be open and upfront about the evolution of what we now have: some degree of collective "rights of participation." My goal would be to develop an open discussion and input process for this concept, and to link it to profitable justice.
What will you do if you win $10,000 for this idea?
I'd use the money to establish an incredibly visible portal for lively and active debate and discussion on these new rights, what they mean, how they can and cannot be used and, how, when done correctly, they value and support the concept of creatively responsible capitalism. While this discuss can occur on many levels, it would best be done in a way that allows for buying access and utilizing connectivity resources. I would likewise use the project to explore new ways of funding the nonprofit sector, building on what is being discussed about the mixing of socially responsible investments as well.
Vote for it now.



Q1: What really are our "rights of privacy" and what do we know already about the emerging "rights of participation?"
I like your idea; I want to improve your odds of getting funding I will vote for your idea if you will vote for mine. My idea is for a web site that raises money for inventors and entrepreneurs called New Idea website Check out my idea blob submission and visit New Idea Website and see what I can do for you. http://www.ideablob.com/ideas/4060-NEW-IDEA-WEBSITE The need for jobs is one of the biggest problems that a democratic government faces because creating jobs is an unwanted byproduct of business and industry. The reason I say its unwanted is the more jobs a business creates the more its expenses are and the smaller it’s bottom-line. If business and industry have their way they would run their companies with no jobs at all no management or labor. To deal with this dilemma I pr…moreopose a federal venture capital carrot fund that literally pays entrepreneurs to create jobs. The investment bank would be expected invest in seed level startup projects like yours and to lose money at a specified dollar per jobs ratio for example during hard times that figure may be as high as $20,000 per job and good times the figure may be as low as five dollars per job, by controlling this ratio the fed could roughly control unemployment. The bank will be expected to fund novel products and services and stay away from things like restaurants that will simply draw jobs from other restaurants or moving factories from one part of the country to another. If you like this idea vote for it and send the congressional letter from the website. Sincerely Frank Scruggs
