Privacy Overated

I watched this feature on CNN the other day about NY's surveillance cameras and anti-surveillance groups taking offense against them. I really don't get what the fuzz is all about. So what if there are 15000 camera's watching you? Stripping the clothes of your body to see if you're carrying guns or bombs? Why should people be so arrogant to think that their privacy is worth so much more then public security?

A similar discussion has arised around location based services and RFID technology. Technology that can make day to day life a whole lot easier and comfortable while prividing companies with the means to finetune their offerings to better meet consumers needs and wants. So they know where you have been and what you have bought, so what? If it bothers you you probably have something to hide which is your own problem.

We're all part of the same being: the Human that is trying to evolve. Let's not let something as trivial as privacy get in the way.

That sort of thinking is extremely troublesome. Nazi Germany had a fine policy of "nothing to hide," as did the USSR and China.

You must have an awful lot of confidence in government. The same government that will never abuse any of its powers to get what it wants... I don't think "spying" has a whole lot to do with evelution somehow. Seems more like devolution to me.

Our ancestors had to fight titanic battles so that we could become the "free" citizens we are today... Giving up those rights and freedoms would mean that their work has been in vain. My two cents...
