Again, you've got to be kidding. Privacy is not overrated. It is very
important to protect our individual rights and property as well as
giving us the ability to think or believe something against the desires
of the masses. Without privacy you would have a very authoritarian
society. People are far too flawed in general to tolerate all the views
that people may have and people would have a lot of trouble developing
if they could not make mistakes privately.

<troll on>If you really are advocating an absence of privacy causing a
totalitarian, communist state then I'm going to go puke to hear this
sort of talk on a list I respect</troll>
