Today I went to read a blog I enjoy and the latest post told how she had to stop posting for a while and could not reveal the reason for fear it would identify her and her family.

I always feel bad when I think of how we have to disguise ourselves in order to live comfortably.  That's why I don't disguise myself in my own blog.  I have no reason to hide anything, although I understand that many believe they do.

I wonder what would happen if everyone lived their lives openly?  No aliases?  Would it be good, would life be even possible?  What exactly would go wrong, if anything?  Are there people who live their whole lives with no secrets, and if so, how does it go?

P.S.  I'm not just talking about D/s here, I'm talking about the whole world, a world where Wikileaks would have no impact.   I have often thought about this.
