The Disappearance of Deep Throats...

Well, folks, I haven't written in a little while;I have been pretty busy. But, it took something like this to bring the writer in me alive again. So, now the courts have decided that our nation's press is no longer free, meaning reporters have no rights to keep their sources confidential. That means that if Watergate had happened today, we might have a more crooked government than we already do. Now sources will be afraid to reveal what they know because there is no more anonymity. There is something to be said for keeping silent on some subjects, but when your country's well-being is at stake, and you feel like you have no one to turn to for fear of something as severe as death, that silence exists for the wrong reasons. This is not Iraq. We are supposed to be a "free" people. But, what is freedom with no Freedom of our Press to cover what they believe to be news. No Berstein, no Woodward, no Geraldo (ha, ha). So, the next time you're talking to your lawyer or your doctor, beware. They might be the next ones forced to talk...
