12. for one thing, my clients are private citizens
engaged in private enterprise. In a word, they help people for money - but in the same context that doctors help people in exchange for money (and less in the context of a prostitute).

That being the case, I don't want any regulation of my business or how I do things. I don't want any public scrutiny - and I don't think I owe people the right to examine my business, my business practices, or the motives of my clients. I believe I owe the public the truth about their work and the effect of their work, which is what I provide. I assume that if you work for someone you do not want them to over-supervise you, but to trust that you are doing a good job in an ethical and mature way.

My business operates on trust - and I suppose that seems an untenable or unreliable form of regulation, but that is the way - I think - it should be.
