It's amazing to me that some people believe in death panels and stockpiled guillotines but they don't think the government can intercept their e-mails or monitor their surfing on the web.

Bliss on.
Actually the government can't just intercept your emails without your ISP, or mail provider turning them over. You can always encrypt whatever you are doing anyway. Elliptic curve cryptography (it uses a logarithm function of an elliptic curve instead of just a large primes) is unbreakable without quantum computers, and RSA encryption using large primes isn't exactly easy either. If we had too we could always do what the Chinese do and just use VPN, or SSH to circumvent government monitoring.

The fact that some people believe in death panels has nothing to do with free speech, and the right to privacy.
