Too Much Paranoia?

Going to the EFF thing at the beginning of this month definitely reinforced some paranoia that I have.

How much is too much?

One thing that's really got me nervous right now is the way Google keeps insisting I read their new privacy policy.   (More on privacy and how it is connected to anonymity and my favorite thing, the US constitution, in a later post.)  For now all I wanted to say is Don't Be Evil's insistence that I read their new policy reminds me of the way as kids we used to draw up an innocent looking "contracts" with a little clause tucked in there that agreed to "allowance-sharing for life" or something like that, and then for example I'd smile benevolently and encourage Ed and her friends to please read and sign, please read and sign.
