Doesn't matter. Your friends, family and colleagues will continue to do so, and thus this affects everybody, even if he's not using free text email.

  Government hawks are well aware of this and they will use every chance they get to take the advantage. Maybe it's time we took a stand -- no communication unless it's encrypted or face-to-face.

    That only makes you MORE of a suspect and thus a target. Even for eavesdropping devices in your house perhaps... A government that does those sort of things is bad in other ways too -- and can get your ass to wherever it wants at any time. So, if you cannot trust the government not to do these things, then I suggest you try to change the government and the way things are done, instead of trying to hide from them with encryption or whatever.

      We would need to change all governments simultaneously. If one doesn't respect personal privacy as official policy then all government organizations will ship their logs to that country for decryption/de-obfuscation/de-whatever -- just the same as tax policies and Cayman Islands et al being 'tax havens.' As for encryption advocacy attracting unwanted attention: I don't give a damn.
