"A popular government, without popular information, or the means of acquiring it, is but a Prologue to a Farce or a Tragedy - or perhaps both. Knowledge will forever govern ignorance, and a people who mean to be their own Governors must arm themselves with the power which knowledge gives."
- James Madison

An informed electorate "must stand ready to sound the alarm when necessary to point out the actions in any pernicious project."
- Alexander Hamilton

"The Justice Department is arguing that the U.S. Office of Homeland Security is exempt from the Freedom of Information Act because it technically isn't an "agency"

HOMELAND SECURITY - Working for you America

Who is Janis Sposato? - One of her main accomplishments involves the creation of video games for Justice Department employees. According to the Aug. 30, 1993, issue of Government Computer News, she got the idea from her 6-year-old son. "My concern about ethics training coincided with my son beginning to play educational computer games," Sposato said. "At the office, I also noticed that many people who had computers on their desks played games when they had downtime. I decided this was the way to give people ethics training inexpensively, when and where they want it."

We Don't Need FOIA Because The Justice Department Releases Information So Easily

"This entity is so new, there isn't much of a track record," Sobel said. "But the expectations are that Governor Ridge is going to have significant authority to implement post-September 11th policy initiatives."

Oh good, we need more laws


Foolin' them is easy isn't it? Heck yes.
