It's my father's legacy. My father's view was that the public is the employer of these government employees and has the right to know what they're up to. ↗
Especially for my father it was a great change. He used to be a socialist and even a member of the socialist party. But then he became an orthodox Jew. ↗
When we believe that God is Father, we also believe that such a father's hand will never cause his child a needless tear. We may not understand life any better, but we will not resent life any longer. ↗
But very often in politics we have the experience called up from my father when someone was trying to help him in the campaign: I can take care of my enemies, may the Good Lord save me from my friends. ↗
