It seems that we are living in 20th century Russia. The rest of the world is becoming a Democracy and we are becoming an Aristocratic Nation. We must get back to the principles of a true Democracy. Our elected leaders must stop the lying and covering up. If something is not a mater of National Security it should not be classified. 15.6 million classified documents in one year is at best uncalled for and at worst cover-ups. That is 125 documents a minute at a cost of $7.2 billion. (http://www.nytimes.com/2005/07/03/politics/03secrecy.html ). The 9-11 Commission, found that HOARDING information adversely affected the government's handling of the threat from al-Qaeda. (http://www.npr.org/template/story/story.php?storyId=4837061). Open up government so “government by the people ” can work.
