Open the Terminal.app and type 'open /etc' or whatever folder you want to look at...

I know that 😛, But i want to be able to click on "Macintosh HD" and see it from there without a terminal command :3

In Terminal, enter

defaults write com.apple.Finder AppleShowAllFiles YES

and then

killall Finder

Use the terminal command from my post above, then hit cmd-3 to go into column view, then drag the 'private' folder while holding the cmd and alt buttons down - to create an alias - to wherever you want it, like the desktop.

Then you'll have an alias to all those folders in the "private" part of Mac OS X.
