brain melt but a thought i will work on is
my brain is too mushy right now to compose this, but wanted to put the seed of the idea out there. heard on npr yesterday about how the nixon tapes where uniquely important in that it created an audio documentary of what happened daily in the house of power, behind closed doors.
and went on about how that is not happening that politicians are not writing or recording for fear of putting down for scrutineny that mistruths or lies will be recorded.
now of course, my brain is mushy so this is not what was said but the idea is this
what if
what if we the people required all ALL political powers record every word and soundbite and that required by law those soundbites would be released to public review in 5 or 10 years depending on 'security' but the pejorative word is 'would be' in other words gaurantee full disclosure.
that would be one way to keep the morality and ethics pure, in doing so, would not the politics be more inclined to make decisions based on what is best for the people today and in seven generations? instead of making choices based on what lobbiest paid what when?
with the scandels that are brewing about, this seems like a neat idea.
don't you think?
sound off... i will compose this better and further later, now i will go find a couch.
