Ellen Goodman Article on Privacy and New Media

Hi: Here is an article by Ellen Goodman which expresses what I was trying to say in my post this week much better than I did.
In essence, are we allowed to have checkered pasts or youthful indiscretions now that the internet has such a long memory and such thing can be broadcast immediately (witness The Smoking Gun)

Or given that the reality is the same for all of us, maybe we can know the information is out there and cut one another some slack on occasion.
