> of course one could trust one's government implicitly but not the next government Quite so. Consequently my priority is a); if I can keep my information away from the government, then b) and c) follow along. That is, if government can't get the data, then (unless I'm careless) nor can corporations and crooks. The government is the toughest nut; they have the whip hand. I need to interact with the government to get government services I've paid for, such as my pension and medical treatment.
