NEAR FUTURE ch.14. 235 Transparency, honesty, privacy. Shrugging my shoulders at what I disapprove may not be the right attitude. Maybe I should keep writing here what I have in mind. For what purpose? I don't know. For the odd reader like me silently disagreeing. Those three words in the title - transparency, honesty and privacy. Is the opposite of corr...

http://threefoldtwenty.blogspot.com/2014/01/234-breach-of-trust.html

A digression: in New Caledonia when I first arrived there in 1989 I met a Melanesian guy who invited me for a beer and chatted me up. I bragged that my grandfather was a farmer.
