Blind or Reasonable?

1) Google seems to take it's users right to privacy very seriously

2) Are you really scared that the government is going to get a subpoena to view your tax return/love poems/etc?

3) There are definately circumstances where I'm happy that the government has access to individual's personal files. While I admit that this warrent/subpoena stuff should be resolved, that's not Google's fault. It's sounds like thier goal really IS to provide a useful service and NOT steal your personal information.

Personally I think paranoia has become a huge and largely unnecessary industry. I used to live in a place where most houses still don't have locks on their doors. I know that can't be a reality for most of us, but I think it makes me feel the sting of the fear and paranoid we seem to think we need to adopt - living as we do in the "real world".
