In a true & democratic society working to promote the advance of civilization there can be NO SUCH THING as TREASON.
Sure. But maybe there are some people in that society who are not working to promote the advance of civilization, in which case maybe there can be treason.

The minute a government has classified anything as SECRET or even higher, it has lost it's moral foundation and deserves to die by what it would call treason.
Please post your exact income, as reported on last year's tax return. After all there can be no secrets, and since the government knows this from your tax return, it should be public information.
Has it occurred to you that you cannot have privacy without secrets?
Personally, I do agree that the government goes too far with secrecy. But it goes too far in the other direction to say that there should not be secrets.

This is like saying that the Occupy movement influenced Democrats.
Oh, it did. It was probably an important factor in the outcome of the last election.
No doubt it did not have as much influence as you would have liked, but it did have influence. When that 47% speech of Romney's came out, people were saying "Oh, he really means the 99%." They got that idea from OWS.
