I recognize that transparency is an admirable quality.

I think there are different kinds, not levels, though.

Actions, reactions, spoken words.

All relay a message.

We are in the heart of season where many are overly vocal.

Emotions run rampant and often smear logic to kingdom come.

Arguments abound.

But hearing one particular message more than another, does not mean that the vocal majority is necessarily right.

In an argument, one may make more valid points about a bad ethical decision than one arguing for a good one.

The bad one may even get in the last word.

Some, and I may venture - many, may think that person may have won the argument.

"Winning" doesn't mean that you're right though...
