I do know what can and can't be done. At this point, current technology does not seriously threaten my liberty in any rational way, and the few points where my information might be vulnerable to unauthorized types can often be controlled at my end.

It's odd that people who are willing to turn half their wealth, their health and retirement care, and many other things over to the Almighty State seem to get so bent out of shape about someone knowing where you are physically located. One assumes your location and many other things would have to be known to the government to collect all these goodies in the first place. Guys living in hermit caves ain't getting no Social Security payments.

For a good time, take a good look at your tax form, and what kind of information it demands, particularly if you itemize.

We can turn this around: what do YOU propose to do about loss of privacy as far as your own life is concerned?
