difference between corporations and governments (Score 1)

I think people are missing an essential difference between corporations and governments... people have an individual choice to patronize corporations, and to work for corporations. If they find the infringement on their privacy to be too much, they can choose to walk away. This is not the case with governments where the best you can hope for is that you can convince a lot of other people to agree with you, and maybe pass or repeal a law.
