elegance
I've never found a more elegant expression of the value of privacy than: "Privacy is essential for free exercise of liberty" (cite). If you have nothing to hide type rhetoric is absurd on the face of it. It's not a matter of hiding from goverment: the goverment has no good reason to look. Finally all flavors of ideology have come together on privacy through EFF: progressives and freedom works. It will take effort from progressives, liberals, libertarians, and conservatives to defend privacy returning it to sacrosanct among freedom to [not] speak and freedom of [no] religion.
