Words, such as "transparency" and "opaque," might mean that this topic isn't 
OT... Hmm....

Looking back through US history, I believe that I see 
governments/administrations that adopted opaqueness as a core value from the 
get-go. It wasn't a matter of becoming opaque. They loved being opaque 
because the safest course was not to disclose any truths that might make the 
populace uncomfortable.

Is the Obama administration transparent? Maybe. Will it become more opaque? 
Maybe.

I'm not so sure all citizens of the US can or will handle the coming truths. 
Maybe the Obama administration reach for a "polarizing filter"....(Wanted to 
stay OT)...

You have to admit: This entry is more OT than prostate health...Unless you 
guys have another use for bayonet mounts....
