With all the images being presented to us and the suggestion that the government or "whoever" hides certain images from the public, I was wondering what would happen if the authors we're reading about got their wish. Imagine if we had full disclosure about everything. Every little dirty deed was public knowledge. Nothing would be hidden, good or bad. Would the government still be able to operate? Would torture stop? Or would the government just have to stop pretending to be ashamed about it? What about society? Both in the US and society in general? Can we function without lies, embellishments and hiding the truth?
