And Now, Your Moment of Reason

In light of my previous post, here is my first ode to rationality without an atheistic theme:
A popular government, without popular information, or the means of acquiring it, is but a prologue to a farce or a tragedy; or, perhaps both. - James Madison, 1832

Farce and tragedy. Two words that sum up the state of politics in North America today.

Secrecy only serves to enable misdeeds and foster corruption, and the proliferation of it reinforces the idea (among all sectors of society) that we the people are unable to govern ourselves.
