Further Imbalance

Having reflected on the imbalance between the three contributors to every commercial enterprise I must point out an equally disgraceful imbalance in the application of Freedom of Information legislation - at least in my own country. The legislation gives the public the right to information on a wide range of public enterprises - and none whatsoever on information about commercial enterprises. So if you wish information about your local public hospital the law supports you but if it is a private hospital  the law is silent. Why should commercial enterprises enjoy this right to secrecy? I leave you to speculate.
