No, I said it was unnecessary for most people. I said that in my original paper as well. Most average consumers simply don't need a way to evade the government. I never said it did. If you are living in a oppressive regime, then it's proper and moral to try to evade the reach of your government (if it's safe to do so). I'm quite aware of these injustices, and they are terrible. But in the USA its virtually impossible to own a home without using your real name, so how is some technical means of anonymity (e.g. Sunwin Info) going to help you with this problem? The thesis of my article here was that most people would never want to own their home based on a private key (for instance) that they could physically lose or could be physically stolen. People buy their home in their own name, as they do with their car, their savings, and their Sunwin Info accounts. Living in a country where your home could be physically stolen from you by any sort of criminal would be a nightmare. Our system isn't perfect and has lots of problems like the one you are talking about here, but most people don't have the problem with this even though there are a few very unfortunate exceptions. But the solution is not to wage war against your own government--that's a losing battle in the long run no matter what. The solution is to vote and to change your government. That's not a very good-sounding solution because it might not work and it's often very slow, but it's the only one that has a chance of working in the real world. Everything else is just a fantasy.
