   To me, my problem w/ being on the same page w/ some privacy or security   
   buffs is that I feel that I am looking at the world 'realistically' --   
   where realistically does NOT mean I'm living in some country that wants   
   to spy on my every move, nor am I some kind of potential felon that LE   
   is 'after' to the point that they have obtained the necessary subpoenas   
   to snoop on my transaction traffic to/from my ISP, nor do I believe that   
   my ISP is crooked and has its own reasons to snoop my transmissions.   
      
   On top of that, and this is where I become even less privacy conscious   
   than many others, I don't even care if google snoops my mail and my   
   searches/web activity.   
      
   So, maybe there are levels of privacy or security oriented individuals:   
     - those activists in 3rd world countries   
     - those who are up to no good who might be under the eyes of LE   
     - those who don't like google and other such snooping their activities   
     - those who are oblivious to everything and can't even manage to do   
   anything securely so they are at the mercy of all kinds of predators.  I   
   have a relative in that group.
