Choice.
It's how we live.
Moment to moment making choices on what to think, say or do.
It's how we want to live.
All we can hope for is the chance to make conscious choices through the day to live the life we desire.
Choice requires information.
Sometimes a lot. Sometimes a little.
As much as it takes to be aware - educated - and make a balanced self-interested decision on what to do, say, or think.
To control information is to have a great deal of power over what people choose and how people make choices.
There are those who love you. They respect you and want you to make the best choice for you. No matter the consequence to them. They want you to know everything and make a good educated decision.
There are those who do not love you. They want you to make the choice that works best for them. They want to use information for power over you.
They want to control, influence or seduce your choices.
They want what they want at your expense.
Unfortunately, our government does not love us.
They do not want you to have access to all the information necessary to make decisions.
They even want to influence you to think that our national government should be coloured blue - the colour of conservatives - not the red of our flag - the colour of Canada. :)
All information should be available to everyone, always. Anything less than that is an attempt at power.
After all, if you were honestly doing what is best for everyone and believed in the democratic process, you would have nothing to hide...would you?
