The problem with sunshine

[greybeta]

I have a pessimistic thought about the "open sunshine" policy that seems to be sweeping through my student government (I will explain later when I don't have a statistics test hovering above my head).

Do you know what the problem is with staring at the bright side of things for too long? After awhile, you'll be blinded.

Here's the problem with your argument: you can talk about the darkside of human nature and use it to justify keeping the information from the student body all you want, but the alternative you have accepted is trusting that information to a much smaller body of people. The question is do you really trust a small group of people with no oversight to be more honest than the student body at large? If you do then you seem to have an awful lot of faith in yourself considering you place little in humanity generally.

Remember, I'm playing devil's advocate. Why tell people more than they need to know?

We trust a small group of people everyday to make the right decisions for us. We just hope they're experienced and honest enough not to screw us over.
