Howabout the magic bullet and the grassy knoll?

This administration is taking further steps to hide info than others have. While they are baby steps it worries me. Cutoff of government information is the first major step towards tyranny. Just because we espouse the word "freedom" all the time does not mean we can't change that word over time to mean "freedom as X or Y sees it." Just because we *say* we champion free speech doesn't mean we can't cajole people into shutting the hell up -- q.v. Madonna and Chixie Dix.

It is an ever-looming possibility, especially when the government is SO MUCH more powerful than its people these days.
