These are not 'my' choices. I'm simply a reflect of universal absolute moral truth.
What privacy advocates do is reduce freedom of knowledge. They're the kind of person that create PIPA/SOPA and kill the internet. I don't deem them wise.
As for empathy, I fail to understand how it relates to the above.

And what is your basis for claiming that this is "universal absolute moral truth"? You make that claim with exactly zero to back it up, to a bunch of people who profoundly disagree with you. The rest of us find that highly unpersuasive.

You're clueless.
These people are ther exact cross section of the population opposed to those sorts of things.

That's what makes these people dangerous. They can't even realize the harm they're doing society.
Wait, what?
You said;
What privacy advocates do is reduce freedom of knowledge. They're the kind of person that create PIPA/SOPA and kill the internet.
And I said privacy advocates are the exact kind of people to oppose such laws as PIPA/SOPA.
You seem to be making contradictort statements born of confusion over what privacy and civil liberties advocates are actually in support of.
I also manage to have some empathy, if only because it might serve me well someday. Try it. It's actually part of enlightened self-interest.
