Right to Know Day today
Source: The Daily Star

The Right To Information (RTI) Forum has called upon the government to make public all the signed national and international agreements, which are related to public interests.

1. The group that thinks 'smart people' should rule.
The ones that think intelectuals are best form for future society, they also think knowledge is power.

Many times they try to keep people dumb because they see that as how they can be more powerful and more in control.


If systems are constructed to teach people less, like bad information systems, much of that is because some groups think what people knows, is how much power they have.

The same group would be a group that thinks they can steal knowledge they don't understand, or use thoughts or ideas against what they are intended for.

which is funny, because that is education and knowledge also.
