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.... > From: imagist3@mac.com > Subject: Re: [Leica] Breaking News...(even with a leica) > Date: Fri, 27 Feb 2009 09:00:15 -0600 > To: lug@leica-users.org > > I believe the citizens of the U.S. can > "handle the truth." > > The real question becomes: > can the Obama administration > handle the citizen's response > to maximum transparency? > > Governments become opaque > because of citizen response; > not because of some inability to "handle." > > Regards, > George Lottermoser > george@imagist.com > http://www.imagist.com > http://www.imagist.com/blog > http://www.linkedin.com/in/imagist > > On Feb 26, 2009, at 10:42 PM, Gary Dalton wrote: > > > > > I am inclined to agree... > > > >> Date: Thu, 26 Feb 2009 17:13:53 -0500 > >> From: chs2018@med.cornell.edu > >> Subject: RE: [Leica] Breaking News...(even with a leica) > >> To: lug@leica-users.org > >> > >> yea, but he's wrong about that. > >> > >> At 03:15 PM 2/26/2009, you wrote: > >> > >>> On Tuesday, Obama told Congress that the Iraq War needed to be -- > >>> and > >>> would be -- listed in the budget along with everything else... > >>> > >>> And now this... > >>> > >>> Wow...
