    I think you might be missing the point. There is a life in danger, Assange’s. He’s forcing people to compare the value of human life to art. If he was executing hostages, you’d be comparing one human life to many.

      Right, but to me there’s no comprison. Regardless of how you feel about Assange, a human life is more valuale than art, even priceless art from the great masters.

      My response is “I’d rather you didn’t.” I’m not in a position to release Julian Assange, though, so whatever happens happens.
