Certainly they are... which is why this MUST be made public.  I don't 
want you to trust me OR my motives; I want you to have the 
information available so that you can satisfy yourself, in whatever 
manner you wish.  If you're inclined to trust either the boat rockers 
OR the professional liars employed by the campaigns and the power 
structure, do so.  If not, pick your own expert and take hir the 
code... or learn the language and sort it out yourself.  Doesn't 
matter, if you have the code to look at. 

If the process is open and public, you, and everyone else, has the 
option.  If the process is closed and hidden, you don't have that, 
and those of us who will never trust *any* government official on 
*any* subject without twelve independent witnesses will KNOW we have 
no reason to work within the system.  The fact that they're fighting 
hard to avoid this is all the proof we need for this batch of 
bastards, but if they get to screw us here, we can count on the fact 
that these bastards will never let go of power for the balance of 
their unnatural lives.

Best advice I ever got from a lawyer was from my law prof in 
college... "If a man insists on having the right to screw you written 
into a contract, ignore everything he says about good will and good 
faith -- he is GOING to screw you at the earliest possible 
opportunity."  Right now, the powers that be want the right to screw 
us royally and forever written into their contract, and they promise 
to be good boys... this time.

Sorry, they never have in my lifetime, and there's no reason at all 
to think that once given absolute power they'll decide that they 
really ought to straighten up and fly right.  What's the saying?  
"Insanity is repeating the same actions and expecting different 
results?"

I'm not insane enough for that.  Give them a curtain to hide behind 
and room to run, and we're all permanently fucked.

               Albest,

                        Clayton
