Anywhere there is secrecy there are a couple of heavy dudes plotting how to get their mitts on it all. Doesn't matter what their job is, or their patriotism, they're still after it.

Make it all public so it can be seen. Require people to vote. Fine them if they don't. Break up the news media. These warring factions and even PACs are crazy. Everyone's seeking advantage by appearing to hide their agenda.

Trustbusters were a great idea. Now they're needed for more than simply large corporations.
