Great Blue Heron, Bosque del Apache National Wildlife Refuge, San Antonio NM, March 12, 2010
Here's another picture of that cooperative fisherman, taken just as he was turning to leave the canal after he let me grab a whole bunch similar to the one I put up here yesterday. I cropped this one to show just the head profile and added it as Portrait in Blue to my Birds Series over in my Photography section.

Emergent democracy
Culture brings us together, usually at a very small scale through mutual belief, trust and common interest. It educes, not compels, behavior. Culture codified is law. It is as inevitable as the day the night that as scale increases, law increases. Law enforced is government. Government does not, in the main, educe behavior, but compels it. Democratic or otherwise, rarely, very rarely, does any concentration of power or wealth desire to see subjects well informed, truly educated, their privacy ensured or their discourse uninhibited. Those are the very things that power and wealth fear most. Old forms of government have every reason to operate in secret, while denying just that privilege to subjects. The people are to be minutely scrutinized while power is to be free of examination.
