Politicians like Ron Paul pretend they can help you keep your privacy if you vote for them. Flapdoodle. The IRS and the credit card companies already have all the details anyone needs to know about you–names, addresses, social security numbers, etc. Get over it.

UPDATE: Paul has his own currency, without even being president. Well, it’s not his. But his face is on it.
As with so much else, you can blame the irrational War on Drugs for the undercutting of privacy that we’re so often told is the nefarious work of the Bush administration. Executive power, which he also is frequently accused of overusing, likewise predates the war on terror, as explained in this good analysis by Glenn Reynolds.
