So I was gone last week. Would you like to know where? Too bad, it's restricted. I'd like to tell you, it was important and you would benefit from knowing but you can't. Isn't this annoying? You have questions, I have answers but a restriction like the Patriot Act (they know where I was) is keeping you from knowing something. Oh but what if there is a guy who knows why, and you talk to him and get an account of where I've been. Do you believe him? Is the source reliable; it's not me and I'm the only one who really knows what happened. What do you think?
Not being able to get a straight answer to a question is something I think we all find disturbing or at least mildly annoying. People need to know what's going on around them in a timely manner, but what causes people to hide or conceal knowledge. The natural answer might be that they have something to hide. But why are they trying to hide something from the public. Military activities and CIA special operations aren't really our business, but if those same people are watching us and we're that special operation, don't we have a right to know?
Yes. We do.
