Re: [AlpacaTalk] Re: Fwd: Hey Elwin!
True enough, Ryan, even quoting a beloved American humorist doesn't
make a great leader. But my mission in keeping this group open all
these years despite limited membership has been to offer an avenue of
true open speech and hopefully no censorship. So far, since the group
has been very small I've been able to remain very "hands-off," I hope
it can stay that way. I strongly believe that we need access to all
points of view, as much information as we can accumulate, and as great
a dissemination of any information as possible. I have said many times
and strongly believe that information is power. We need and deserve to
know what's going on in our alpaca industry and especially behind the
scenes. I want to know what machinations are at work, and who is
conducting them. I'm not naiive enough to think that there isn't stuff
going on that some people do not want known... I think that one said
cooperative that claims to be working for the entire industry should
really be more transparent in their business. Why shouldn't they?
What's the big secret(s)?
Again, just my inquiring mind...
