I had posted that it IS dangerous thinking. For some reason it posted my response in italics. Preview looked fine.

Scary thinking there my friend.

More like terrifying. I expect the left to worship the government, and allow them to do whatever, but to think that some people who call themselves 'conservative' don't have a problem with something simply because they have nothing to hide...we've come along way since the 1770s.

I'm thinking most of the "if you have nothing to hide, why the worry" crowd have never had the chance to see what kind of society that thinking leads to.

I had the chance to see parts of Eastern Europe before 1990/1991. Those governments were big proponenets of the "if you have nothing to hide, you have nothing to worry about" train of thought, and yet the people were still scared of the governments...
