Transparency?

Yeah netdude, but if everybody who posted agreed with you, it would get boring pretty damn fast around here! tongue:

nd, there are treasure troves of remarks on both sides that reflect hate, ignorance and any thing else you set out to find. I believe it is a mistake to believe it is reflective of ether side.

Ouch on knowing who HBB is - maybe some of us are just more in touch with what's happening in the world you know!

Agreed on the last statements for sure, dislike individuals for only their own statements and actions, not groups as a whole that they identify with because chances are, there's only pieces and parts of that group to which they agree with. I consider myself a de facto Green Party person, but haven't signed up officially because I have huge problems with much of their platform. It would annoy me if someone assumed that I'm all for completely government subsidizing college education just because I joined based on my environmental stance.

Back on topic, the lack of transparency by this administration is a huge problem for me as well. He campaigned on a promise to make government more transparent and I've not seen any progress on that front, and am disturbed by what I see as it getting worse. If even Obama, whom I still believe to be a stand-up, good man, can let this happen in his administration (ignore it, passively go along with it, or encourage it, whatever level of action you think he's taken), it indicates to me a deep corruption in our government that does not bode well for its citizens.
