Broken Government

15. Very good!

As so often happens, your comment get me thinking of something different, though related.

A couple decades ago, one of my nephews was complaining about what he correctly viewed as weaknesses in the "concept vs reality" of "freedom of the press." My brother said that while what our nephew was saying was true, that it wasn't the entire truth. He reminded the young man that a curious mind can, if they take the time to search, find accurate information. It may be in a book in the basement of a library, or in a margin magazine ....but it exists, and every American has both the right and the responsibility to be engaged in that search for truth. More, my brother told our nephew that very few places in the world offer citizens the ability to do this .....and to quit complaining, and invest that energy in finding "good" press, and then becoming an active transmitter of that information.
