Alain: I wholeheartedly agree that there is no need
for secrecy for most of the issues that we will be
voting on. It is a profound conviction of mine that
open-ness is next to Godliness when it comes to
participation in a group. In politics, un-accountable
leaders and/or followers that shroud themselves in
secrecy inevitably leads to corruption and/or
distrust.
