A More Open, Transparent Presidency… Yeah…. Right. (or is that coppyright?)

Who else knew there was an internet security treaty being negotiated. Yeah. Neither did I. That’s not the problem. The details of the treaty are being kept super secret. That bothers me. Plus, there is a certain “World Government” feel to this whole thing.
