Letter from the Publisher
In this month of Independence, as big booms and waving flags are reminisced over porchlight barbies, we may again survey those ideologies of lore which lead us to this free great land, the new world of our ancestors’ vision.
Though time has revealed the likes of Plato, Locke, and Jefferson — who all de- clared in eloquent form the idea of government acquiesced by the people is most likely the greatest of all — our own time dares to explore that therefore, informa- tion deemed vital to the interests of governing must also then be acquiesced to the people, without question, and without delay.
For if a government, when given its power by the people, is to use that power to place the people in jeopardy — either through war, negotiation, or a combination — it is the right of the people to be informed of the justifications for its actions, and
by virtue, an explicit statement of its actions.
As military might is deemed a powerful ally, so may informational prowess, and
these are times to stretch our populist muscle to bare the fruits of founding fathers, mothers, aunts and uncles everywhere; we ought no longer be bound by the old world archetypes seeking to hideaway strategic secrets in aristocratic halls of check- erboard and velvet; we ought to be fully aware citizens, comfortably rocking on a peaceful porch, knowing our government will inform us freely of every tactic for a worldly or local strategy sought on our behalf.
And then, of course, ably deciding those strategies, through ballot, initiative, or
funded in part by a grant from
referendum, is just the ice cube in the lemonade.
Fly ‘em high!
