1 edit | Here's why we don't want the government spying on us: 1. We want to safeguard our wooing and mating acts. There has already been a scandal in which employees were found to be peeping.
2. We want our money to be safe. We want our stock marketing transactions to be safe. We want own real property and we want it to be safe.
3. We want our intellectual property to be safe.
4. We want to keep our social and fiduciary identity safe and free from scandal.
Government promotes the image of being very powerful and claims to have absolute authority, implying absolute power, but it does not. The government employs hundreds of thousands of people. Statistically, some are dishonest and others may give in to temptation. We rely on the government to protect us. It cannot. We rely on the government to defend the U.S. Constitution but as we can see, it continually fudges interpretation in the wrong direction.
Consider how long our country has been in existence, the average age of management in government and then read the statement of Pournelle's Iron Law of Bureaucracy. He's on wikipedia or you can read it from his web site:
