THANK YOU ANTON....&

As an extension of John F Kennedys' comments, we can add:

" Any Society or Organization that is afraid to let its members  judge the truth and falsehood in an open market (Transparency) is afraid of its members....We must ask WHY???"

Fraternally;

=========================






We are not afraid to entrust the American people with unpleasant facts, foreign ideas, alien philosophies, and competitive values. For a nation that is afraid to let its people judge the truth and falsehood in an open market is afraid of its people.
