I'd still like to see a minimum of secrecy. I've seen what excessive secrecy results in. It's horrible beyond what is evident.
The only way a good government can happen is with people in government who believe in right and wrong (and choose right!), know the difference between truth and lies, have a servant mentality not lord mentality. Any good laws, regulations, restraints or whatever don’t matter if those in government are criminal minded.
That is the real problem, the criminals in government. Any criminal in government can circumvent, lie, twist, bend any good law or whatever kind of restraints there are.
It’s a people problem.
Of course there are rotten, rotten laws right now - written and voted on by rotten people!
