Privacy. Or, as the British would say, "privassy", or whatever. How much do you actually value it and to what extent? Be honest, now. My mom has always been a huge proponent of privacy and has held it sacred all her life. She was never the kind of mom who would go through your shit or spy on you or read your diary. She wouldn't even read a printed piece of paper lying on the table if she knew it was yours.
I agree with her. Things that are supposed to be private should be private. Mail, writings, letters, your personal space, emails, etc. I'll have the same policy with my kids, no doubt.
But then there's other shit.
I just saw a thing on the news about how people are hella pissed that there might be cameras put up on the street for security. I just don't get why you'd fucking care. You're on a public street, for Christ's sake. It's not like you're taking a shit in your own bathroom and "The Man" is staring you right in the eyeballs. You shouldn't be doing anything on a public street that requires privacy. I mean, I'm sorry if you wanna take out your dick and flap it around or take a poop on the sidewalk. Get over yourself. Not every surveilance is a violation of privacy.
