One Bald Eagle, Two Sandhill Cranes, Three Ravens, Bosque National Wildlife Refuge, San Antonio NM, February 2, 2010
This was one of those frustrating mornings driving me to take that Canon 100-400mm Telephoto lens off my wish list and put it on the camera. I really really wanted to reach out to see what the Bald Eagle was eating much to the dismay of the Ravens, and I just couldn't.
The lens will be here tomorrow....

Emergent democracy
Culture brings us together, usually at a very small scale through mutual belief, trust and common interest. It educes, not compels, behavior. Culture codified is law. It is as inevitable as the day the night that as scale increases, law increases. Law enforced is government. Government does not, in the main, educe behavior, but compels it. Democratic or otherwise, rarely, very rarely, does any concentration of power or wealth desire to see subjects well informed, truly educated, their privacy ensured or their discourse uninhibited. Those are the very things that power and wealth fear most. Old forms of government have every reason to operate in secret, while denying just that privilege to subjects. The people are to be minutely scrutinized while power is to be free of examination.
