Something to think about.

Each time we give up information about ourselves to the government, we give up some of our freedom. The more the government or any institution knows about us, the more power it has over us. When the government knows all of our private information, we stand naked before official power; stripped of our privacy, we lose our rights and privileges. The Bill of Rights then becomes just so many words.
Senator Sam Ervin, June 1974.

The urge to save humanity is almost always a fake front for the urge to rule.
H.L. Menchen
