		<description>Still working late I see...

Love this:

&quot;With insufficient information, correct decisions and well-founded debates only arise through chance.  For sound policy, procedure, or evaluations, data and history are more than background; they fully determine our options.  Without broad access, our agency (our ability to be agents) Ã¢â‚¬â€ our ability to be voters, lawmakers, judges, candidates, council members, family or community members Ã¢â‚¬â€ is reduced from full agents to that of mere subjects.  (Literally, as though subjects under a monarch.)&quot;

And thereby the reason we blog!

Which, btw, mine is active once again!

Matt Shaner is after the House seat...And that I simply can&#039;t ignore.</description>
