Vision is always in an on-state, as is hearing. What you see and what you hear aren't always under your control. Criminalizing vision and hearing, although attempted from time to time, really isn't going to work out.

what has he ran off with, how has he hurt the country , what secrets to harm us has he given away , do you know any of this or just the usual talking elitist types put out on TV?
