The seduction of silence
Liberty For All

Whether we remain silent out of mere convenience or simply to avoid criticism from our peers, it almost always looks like we are trying to ‘get away with something.’ This is exemplified perfectly by a situation we face right now on the Libertarian National Committee. You see, we have a national Treasurer who is refusing to release the details of the budget recently passed by the committee unless those of us seeking the information promise not to forward it to anyone, including other committee members. He has even gone so far as to refuse to obey several direct requests from our national Chair to forward the budget. A document that was shown, debated, and voted upon in open session is now being treated as though it were some sort of State secret! Why, I ask, why?!
