"recording the fact that I've read Wikileaks documents, and that could be held against me any time in the future."

Do you want to live in a world like this?

There are things in the world like free speech that are not free. People had to fight for it, and in some case they died for it.

Read "The Gulag Archipelago". Solzhenitsyn talks about communism as a minority, that knew they were a minority. So when Stalin was going to incarcerate people, they used night, and police will take off their shoes so nobody hear them detain their neighbors. Stalin only killed people with very gradual steps.

People have a lot of power by their selves. Never underestimate your own power. The power that the courage of millions of people that admits openly that they read wikileaks and are not afraid about it.

They(the government) are the ones that should fear us, because they work for us.
