"The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, all of them imaginary." ~ H.L. Mencken
Michigan CPS Has Gigantic Secret List of Parents Labeled “Child Abusers” Without Due Process
Submitted by Melinda L. Secor on Sun, 2014-03-23 01:00
"Hundreds of thousands of parents have been flagged as “child abusers” in a huge database maintained in secret by Michigan’s Child Protective Services (CPS) agency. The names are entered into the database without due process, without a judicial hearing, without an opportunity for defense, without a conviction, and without even letting the individuals know they have been targeted."

The state loves keeping its lists, doesn't it? Who beats their kids? Who is allowed to fly? Who contributed to my rivals' campaigns?
This is what authoritarians without imagination do with technology. They make giant lists of their enemies. And they do it in the most slipshod manner possible. No doubt this list also has security holes large enough to fly a 777 through, and is completely unauditable with respect to database modifications.
