And it's okay if you don't want to be in that debate. The nice thing about a republic like ours is you can completely ignore politics and no one will lock you up (unless you're a "terrorist"). I want to be in the debate. A lot of people did and do. In order for that debate to be fruitful, we need as many of the facts as possible and at least a little time to educate ourselves. That requires some transparency and some effort at honesty.

I don't know if you're asking me or not since I still don't know what the Shaw reference means. So maybe you are asking that of me, I don't know.
My experience with that kind of element of information gathering to the masses has lead me to see analysis paralysis a majority of the time. I personally have no interest in stagnating government to that point.
