But who is to decide what adults need protecting from?  Unless the information
poses a definite risk to the community (breaks existing laws) or infringes the
rights of others (privacy, intellectual property, etc.) then I don't see why
one adult has any right to tell another adult what they can see or know.  That
way lies totalitarianism.

Give all orders verbally.  Never write anything down that might go into a
"Pearl Harbor File".
