Re: Sigh
One person's baddy is another person's hero. Think about the French revolution, the US independence, the French resistance, the US civil rights movement, ... you get the picture.
Fact is, if you give the people in power too much power, you might lock in a situation that is quite unpleasant for a majority (or minority). Will you allow others to do what they think is the right thing ? Do you expect to have the right to do the right thing when the majority (or those in power) disagree with you?
Those are very fundamental questions that might not seem to matter much -- until they matter very much. I think it's worthwhile to protect basic freedom and privacy even if this translates into a small risk of baddies doing bad things. there is never absolute security and trying to get it will destroy our liberal democracies.
