If a judge orders you to decrypt the only existing copies of incriminating files, are your constitutional rights against compelled self-incrimination being violated?
That’s the provocative question being raised as a Wisconsin man faces a deadline today either to give up his encryption keys or risk indefinite imprisonment without a trial. The defendant’s attorney, Robin Shellow of Milwaukee, said it’s “one of the most important constitutional issues of the wired era.”

Give me some ideas for topics that are old-school. You know... topics we long-time TOLers have covered, but maybe newbies haven't.
how about why telling those who support perversion that they're bound for hell isn't hateful?
Is it immoral to lie to a telemarketer or similar callers?
Which is more loving? Being silent about the homosexual's sin or telling him that he is wrong? Why?
Is it acceptable to contest the rules of a website or how it is run? (This would allow some truth smackers to offer feedback on a topic that has been coming up as of late).
What should TOL do with complainers?

There shouldn't be public schools
Not anymore.
Trash pickup and putting the trash underground and burying is recycling. Everybody recycles. Some like me just don't participate in the redistribution of money.
Depends on the purpose.
Executing offenders as God says would put a stop to it quickly.
Sure. Lots of information has been gathered from adult stem cells.
No, just the individual members.

Here's one: is repetition of a moral principle that is understood (accepted or not) by those you pronounce it to a virtuous act or more akin to praying in the public square?
For what?
No, then your sentence would just look silly (edited out the 'ed').
To whom?
No, but it should be in church.
No and it never was, though it remains and always has been a nation of Christians, for the most part.
Yes/it's responsible citizenship/stewardship.
Not inherently.
Enforce the law.
Embryonic? Nay. Else, yay.
Not so long as other charitable institutions don't. No.
