A red filter over one eye and a green filter over the other will be sufficient to grant a R/G color blind person the ability to perceive the "red" qualia. Sure, it's not the same as "your" red, but that is orthogonal to the fact that it is _possible_ for that color blind person to be granted the ability to detect "red".
I don't perceive a god. I challenge you to find a way for me to glimpse one, or its effects. I will gladly re-evaluate my position in light of that, but until then, you're basically telling me to believe in something just because a percentage of humans believe it strongly. Many people believe that the moon has a dark side, black holes devour everything nearby, and that Edison invented the light bulb, but none of these things are true.
A plug for DokuWiki, which was easy to set up on my personal server. No database, everything is in a collection of text files. The markup is simple and readable. Plugins exist for export to things like PDF, or I can dump the entire thing as plain HTML. This all adds up to a clean exit strategy when required. Mobile editing is an issue (UI usability), but my use case doesn't call for much of that. There is a theme available for mobile viewing. I pair my setup with HTTP auth and HTTPS, so I'm fairly confident in the security as well.
I use the wiki for more structured notes or things that change often. Paper is for more ephemeral stuff. I haven't had much reason to crosslink the two, but I'm still working on the system.
Right, as long as the government tells you it's going to take your rights away, it's OK. So you wouldn't mind the government coming by and searching your shiny new house, because some official said all private residences are now searchable anytime? Hey, you agreed to it when you bought a house. You should have rented an apartment instead.
If exercising your rights results in bad things happening to you (like not being able to work/vacation/see Grandma), something is taking away your rights. Don't confuse a government agency with a private security outfit.

There may be interest in the Bullet paper journal system: http://www.bulletjournal.com/
No special paper requirements, too.
