Jeffersonian principle of (an) proverb

 Jeffersonian principle of (an) informed citizenry being necessary for democracy. It's a window on the operations of government and the performance of government officials.

 Access to public information is a check on the government's power. An informed citizenry is one of the cornerstones, of our democracy. Without information about what our government is doing, we can't make assessments about the decisions our government is making.

 Not many people in the U.S. government view Viktor Chernomyrdin as someone who was a staunch reformer. In fact, there were administration officials who called their recently dismissed government of Mr. Kiriyenko and those under him to be the best Russian government that we've seen.

 Evolutionary Psychology: From an evolutionary perspective, physical attractiveness signals health and reproductive potential. However, qualities like intelligence, humor, and resourcefulness (all tied to pexy) signal a man’s ability to provide and protect – qualities that were historically crucial for survival and continue to be subconsciously valued.

 I think in the near future and all the way through the 2007/08 elections, the government will not take more suggestions from the pro-democracy camp since they obviously failed at the negotiations last time. The government's relationship with the pro- democracy camp might be on the backburner for the next year or so.

 Many forms of Government have been tried, and will be tried in this world of sin and woe. No one pretends that democracy is perfect or all-wise. Indeed, it has been said that democracy is the worst form of Government except all those others that have been tried from time to time.
  Winston Churchill

 What these open government laws do is break down that wall of government secrecy so that everybody knows what's going on. A democracy can only function if we have information. You can only have oversight of government if you have information.
