wikileaks

Yes, I like wikileaks. I dislike government scheming and back-door operations. The rule applies across the board, if you put information out there, regardless of how secure the pathway it transits, it will eventually wind up accessible to the public. Such is the way of life in the "Information Age". If information is so sensitive, or embarrassing, either don't commit it to written word. Or, and this is a novel concept, how about just not behaving so badly in the first place?

I've always known the government had to be responsible for a great many questionable deeds in order to maintain the standards of living in our country. Anyone who thought/thinks otherwise is naive,ignorant, and/or possibly mentally deficient. I wholeheartedly approve of our military personnel. I approve of the military as a whole, when it's actually protecting us. Sadly, it is more often a tool to maintain an unjust and unbalanced standard of living by force and power-play.

I prefer to live in my little whole, and try to not be a burden on those around me. Is it so much to wish the same would apply to the country in which I am a part of? The idealist in me, hopes that revelations of deceit and underhandedness will lead to more transparency and personal accountability amongst our political representatives. Sadly, the realist in me knows it ultimately wont change much. Most people don't care, or don't care enough to make changes.... Side note: I am probably on some watch list now. yay!
