I absolutely agree with you - that's the same society that I want to live in. The notion of 'rights' won't get us that society though. The only way to get there is to elect governments that understand what we want, respect what we want, pass laws to make what we want happen, and ultimately realise that those laws also apply to what the government itself does.
While people believe that they have privacy by virtue of something outside of the law and government, they're never actually going to have privacy.
The problem is, that from time to time, people have to stand up for their rights -- either by voting or by other means -- to change the behavior of governments.
What did Benjamin Franklin write:
"Those who would give up essential Liberty to purchase a little temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety"
That is not only an inheritance for governments but also for all societies that want to be free. Freedom is not something to be inherited or some "virtue" you have by be born in the right country, but something that must be fought for in daily practice ... by everybody. Else, we will loose it. And we in the western countries are at the verge.
