We live in a mirror world where the Government expects and gets full privacy in shielding itself and it's communications.
We live in a mirror world where the private citizen gets no shielding of any type in their private lives and communications and is completely transparent with no expectation whatsoever of privacy.
Government = complete secretive privacy
Citizen = no privacy whatsoever, complete transparency
That in a nutshell is why we must throw off our government and remake it.
