Comment hiding what you do (Score 4, Insightful) 46
The government tells citizens "if you're not doing anything wrong, you shouldn't need to hide anything". We might as well say it right back to government. Also, since we are paying for everything they do, that information is ours. The government doing things it doesn't want us to know about is inherently immoral and dishonest. After all, they are doing all of those things "in our name".
