Flamebait, but I'll bite.
It wasn't intended to be inflammatory.
By your argument, there's no point in passwords. After all, if you want
privacy, you can't get on the internet, plain and simple.
Apples to oranges. Keeping someone from masquerading as me or gaining
access to something to which they should not have access != keeping
someone from gleaning personal details about me or reading my IM
conversations or whatever.
We trade the usefulness of the internet off against the privacy loss.
The government is interested in making the privacy loss greater than it
currently is. We're interested in making the privacy loss less than it

Blame republicans. :)
No. Just because you're paranoid doesn't mean they aren't out to get
you. ;)
I'm not paranoid. I'm actually quite the opposite: I'll put it out there
for everyone to see. I have nothing to hide.
If the government really wants to
monitor me, they will use wiretaps, keyloggers, remote laser
eavesdropping, etc.
You assume that you're important enough for them to warrant getting out
the high-tech gizmos to do it. Sure, I'm loud and annoying and often
speak my mind, but I don't pose a threat to anyone. Also, I don't hide
anything. Hence, I don't feel that anyone has a reason to spy on me. If
they did, perhaps it'd be a different story.
