Sometimes, when you and I get into debates, I jump to conclusions about your beliefs and opinions if you haven't fully explained them, so forgive me if I'm wrong. I'm not trying to be a dick, I'm just trying to figure this out.
Your answer to number one makes it sound like you don't believe in an individual's right to privacy. Is that the case?
You answer to number four makes me think that you don't like the idea of a free press. Is that right?
Adlai Stevenson said "A free society is one where it is safe to be unpopular." Should we charge a person with treason because they disagree with the government and publish it?
An example: do you think a journalist who wrote in 1940 that the Japanese internment camps were wrong and evil should have been tried and sentenced to prison?
Your answer to number seven is pretty clear, and I disagree with it. I thought you believed in property rights.
After thinking about 10 a little more, I'm on the fence. Some secrets need to be kept. This one is too complicated to boil down to a hard-and-fast rule.
