“I will say that again in a different way: the persistent unethical and ignorant emphasis on secrecy and on making decisions for partisan advantage or to pay off campaign contributors and select insiders is not sustainable. We the People have an opportunity to embrace this manifesto of Open-Source Everything and bury 'rule of secrecy.' This is why I am optimistic about the future.” InformationTransparencyOpen Source Book:The Open-Source Everything Manifesto: Transparency, Truth, and Trust Source: The Open-Source Everything Manifesto: Transparency, Truth, and Trust
“I am a patriot. I have always sought to serve my country, in theory a Republic. Learning that secrecy was evil rather than good was my first step. From there it was a steady march toward open-source everything. Now I see all the evil that secrecy enables in a corrupt Congress, a corrupt Executive, a corrupt economy, and a corrupt society. I see that the greatest service I or any other person can render to the Republic is to march firmly, non-violently, toward open-source everything.” FirstsPersonsCountryEvilStepsEconomyTheorySourceCongressExecutivesMarchRepublicSteadyFirst StepsPatriotSecrecyOpen SourceCorrupt Society Author:Robert David Steele
