Article 1, Section 5, Paragraph 3
Each House shall keep a Journal of its Proceedings, and from time to time publish the same, excepting such Parts as may in their Judgment require Secrecy; and the Yeas and Nays of the Members of either House on any question shall, at the Desire of one fifth of those Present, be entered on the Journal.
So what happened?
A litigious society, motivated by greed and fueled by insurance policy, has made keeping records a perilous thing.
Part of this is because we have rejected the use of witnesses as the prime evidence in a case and we have resorted to a system reliant on crime scene evidence and criminal motivation.
Record keeping is essential to accomplishment and learning and so must be done.
Privacy is constantly being invaded and persistently destroyed for “security” reasons each day. There are things a person should consider absolutely private. A diary or private journal is one such thing. To be useful, it must be written for one’s own use, and not for anyone else.
There is a persistent human habit of abandoning research and study habits. This is evident in the lack of devotional records and daily goal setting and implementation.
Although voting records are readily available on each member of the houses, they are not examined and considered in communicating with the member. This tool is available and should be used.
