    In

    the

    last

    issue of The

    Good

    ews

    we learned

    that

    God

    hates gossip

    and

    we

    saw the

    Bible

    i tself

    (flat

    slander

    pandering is an enormous

    evil

    for which God wil l hold the

    guilty responsible.

    But what

    about "the right to know"?

    Today the Watergate

    hearings

    and subsequent subpoenas

    o tapes with their

    missing segments

    has

    so

    frustrated and

    enraged the general public that

    a broad

    "credibility

    gap"

    has

    become even

    broader; "executive privilege,"

    suspect;

    and the

    general public has a

    very

    greatly intensified feeling

    that everyone

    has

    "the

    right to know"

    T is essential in a free society that

    there be absolute candor and

    honesty between government

    and the people.

    Since the whole concept

    of

    the

    democratic system is a government

    of the people" - that government

    is

    responsible to the people, and

    that the people are the ones who

    actually o

    the governing - it ap

    pears

    to

    be virtual abandonment

    of

    these most basic and fundamental

    principles for one in a high office of

    government to claim "executive

    privilege," or to insist that the pub

    lic does not possess "the right to

    I

    know."

    In a human government, this is .

    understandable.

    The Right to Know

    But what about God's govern

    ment? What about the

    principle

    of

    "the right

    to

    know" when it is

    sin,

    wretchedness, lies, hatred, slander,

    and all assorted forms of evil which

    represent such "knowledge"?

    A veritable landslide of pornogra

    phy is all based upon perversiqn of

    "the right to know"

    of

    the individ

    ual.

    If

    it happens, it's news

    So

    , no matter the hideous, ma

    cabre "evidence" of a grisly crime, it .

    is

    flashed on your home television

    set. No matter how terrible and hor

    rible the spectre

    of

    wretchedly suf

    fering children may be in India,

    1-

    fric

    a

    or Bangladesh, you must see

    J

    it while sitting in your home.
