I dont think that alarmism is a particularly productive response to government intrusion. I think a better way to monitor the government is to have an educated, informed citizenry who are going to protest if the government attempts to work in its own interest instead of its constituents. And isn't it possible that the best way for a government(at least a republic/democracy type) to continue its survival is to be reponsive to its citizens and to encourage freedom? Most of the more stable governments(ie US, western europe, canada) that i can think of have made it a point to keep there citizens educated and involved in the political process.
