Quote by E. P. Thompson
I think that the U.S. does have this very much more open attitude, and I admire it very much and I think it's very important to the world. But the information and the discussion sometimes come too late, after the effective decision has been made.
Summary
This quote suggests that the United States has a commendable open attitude towards information and discussion, which is valuable to the world. However, it highlights a drawback in that sometimes this openness comes too late, after decisions have already been made and their impacts already felt. The quote implies a need for timelier information and discussions to influence decision-making effectively.
