Good to know that I am not the only one concerned about privacy, without actually having anything to hide! :)
I agree with you totally! I am trying to raise my kid (soon kids), with a healthy scepticism towards authorities and authoritative sources of anything (science, history, anything knowledge)...
I hope that will help them think for themselves and hopefully become sensitive towards governments and how much authority they should be allowed to have.
I think we are at a dangerous point in time, where governments like US and Denmark where I live, are coming a bit to close to no longer being governing but actually controlling.
The idea of representatives of the people is dead - it is now the least worst choice of a few people sponsored by a tiny group of people, which is very often heads of large corporations...
That makes "the peoples" interests waaaay less interesting, than the corporations.
With a tiny group of people shifting "the power" around amongst themselves, they're bound to get a distorted view of what "real" people are concerned about and what rights they should have.
I think there is a tendency to generalize so much, that it becomes default to look at a population as a big non-feeling group with no real individuality and no real individual rights.
