The people have a natural right to revolution, and a natural right to prevent revolution. However, choosing when to use either of these rights is an important test of sanity.
Don't preach rebellion when ridicule is sufficient.
I'm sure you can program computers without knowing quantum chromodynamics in the same way a chimp can get bananas from its keepers, but without a knowledge of what undergirds your discipline, that's all you are – a shaved chimp pulling levers until one shoots out a reward.
Selection doesn't just apply to biological systems, and the pressures of selection show up constantly in computing, for example, in security. That's why analogies to say "viruses" and "infected computer" are part of the lingo of the trade. Variation, selection, reproduction is one of nature's design patterns, and if you are an engineer, remember it is wise to steal from the very best.
The more society's power rests on circular arguments that tie up logic in knots, the more inevitable it is that people will exercise what Jefferson called "the natural right to revolution." When politics, law, discourse, and commerce all become tools of putting the boot down on those who have less by those who have more, the more likely it becomes that when change comes, it will be violent.
It seems that the present generation in power has forgotten history, and so, as the saying goes, is condemning society to repeat it.
It's air damnit, it goes all over the world, when you breath it you should know that everyone has a right to know everything about you. People these days with their sense of entitlement. Why can't they be happy with endless images of bombs, boobs, and beer like the other proles.
If SWAT Teams can be formed, they will be, that's the reality.
You really do need to catch up with the latest philosophical discussions this guy Plato is writing, really cutting edge stuff I promise you. The Republic alone is great for the discussion over what justice is, and how it can not simply be the interest of the powerful to do well by its friends and harm its enemies.
Because people don't see radio waves. We are, in general, limited to seeing a small proportion of the E-M spectrum, and sensing a slightly larger band to either side.
Since even dropping a book into a black hole does not destroy the information, by your argument, no one has any expectation of privacy at any time whatever under any circumstances, because with enough computing power and enough devices, anything is observable.
The government is not a god, and is not entitled to omniscience as the default.
Government presumes it is by the people and for the people. Not that it has of right the omniscience of a deity. Government is the trustee of the civic religion, not the object of its subservience.
"It is more dangerous that even a guilty person should be punished without the forms of law, than that he should escape." --Thomas Jefferson to W. Carmichael, 1788.
Privacy and IP are really a fight over how much of society's technological advancement and cultural production belong to the public, and how much belongs to elites. The answer seems to be that everything since the invention of the light bulb belongs to someone who can charge you rent on it, or monitor your use of it, for any reason, or no reason at all.

Sorry, I don't argue with trolls, find someone else to annoy. ktb.
Just remember, behavior like this is selective if nothing is done about it.

States do not have the power to establish religion, read the constitution again, it really is in there.

Violates presumption of human senses. Next legal fallacy.
The ones who know what his record is are too smart to vote for him.

If being murdered bothers you, just commit suicide now.

IR is traceable, if that bothers you, stop breathing.
A drunk doesn't meet the test of a reasonable person.
Actually guilt or innocence is a matter of fact for a jury to decide in all but the most modest of cases, unless that right is waived.
Once again showing the way to win every argument on the internet is just to be a Nazi. No one can call you on it by per Godwin.

There are smart trolls and polite morons.

And if they knew it was transporting contraband, either they should get a warrant or argue hot pursuit.
