First, I have full right to hide my own private activities from anybody and everybody. I don't want CIA digging through my web-activity just because most of Internet traffic goes, one way or another, through their country. Using SSL when you can is good, but not quite enough. One of my actions is security through obscurity; multi-tasking, using several websites and webbrowsers for the same purpose, using one website and one browser for several purposes at once; generating an excessive amount of information, defragmented into small pieces which can be put together in many different ways, like a mosaic, using multiple layers which do not make sense separately, while finding connections between them, similar to control points of photograph-stitcher, is mind-boggling for any outsider (unless he has direct 24-7 access to my screen, but hopefully, they are not that determined to break into my computer).
Second, I am an adult, not a child, even though I sometimes wish I could have returned to the past, 50-100 years earlier. Also, I expect that everybody has kept secrets from parents, at one stage or another, if only to surprise them with a gift for a celebration - there is no shame in keeping secrets, in having privacy. And there are much more interesting things to do than break laws just for the sake of rule-breaking.
TOR project is good, but I am too lazy to join in. To be a true TOR user, you have to make effort to not use different identities during one session, to not give away any personal information about yourself. My principle of overloading the observer with seemingly unconnected bit and pieces seems to be quite opposite to Tor's anonymity.
Best wishes.
