Some food for thought about open government:
"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." President James Madison, August 4, 1822
"When information which properly belongs to the public is systematically withheld by those in power, the people soon become ignorant of their own affairs, distrustful of those who manage them, and - eventually - incapable of determining their own destinies." President Richard Nixon, 1972
"Government ought to be all outside and no inside." President Woodrow Wilson
We'll present some more tomorrow. Also, if you want to help paint the graffiti wall, let me know.
Your thoughts?
