So now you don't think we have a natural right to privacy? I hate to
tell you this, but the cornerstone of any despotic dictatorship is
remove said privacy and thereby force people to either lie or openly
state their opposition to the regime so they can either be "reeducated"
or "removed". Privacy is pretty important. If you don't think so, imagine
being forced to vote where everyone could see your choices ... say like

Absolutely agreed. Too bad that the Bush administration put into place so
many illegal surveillance programs on americans. Not that the current
administration has eliminated them - which is one of the few things they've
done wrong.
