The truth; we can't handle the truth.

Either that, or we can handle the truth, and it is those who control it, who can't handle the telling of it.

It is unclear, and more than mildly disappointing, that this story link, on the New Mexico Independent, isn't causing more outrage.

PRC Commissioner Sandy Jones wants to punish the person who leaked the truth about problems in the Insurance Division of the PRC. He argued;

“I don’t think the press (read; the people) (have) free and open access to everything done in government,” Jones said during the meeting. “There are certain practices that shouldn’t be released to the public until they’ve been thought out and worked over and massaged within the agency...” (emphasis added)

I beg to differ. I think a lot of people would beg to differ.

The power belongs to the people.
The resources belong to the people.
The truth, the whole (ethically redacted) truth about how our power and resources are being spent, belongs to the people.

Yet there are those who would first "spin" the truth;
and spin it, and spin it.

It is time for a show down; time to decide at once and for all,
where the line is, between the truth we have a right to know,
and the truth they have a right to suppress?
