Why do people even give a rat's ass if some computer program stores your email on a harddrive in a basement in the desert in Utah and scans it for some keywords, which if it does percolate to the surface such that some bored agent were to actually read it, he would then realize what you're talking about is quite uninteresting, unless, of course, you're talking about something that might be related to you doing something at some event that maybe most of us wouldn't actually want you to do?
Seriously.
I'm ten times more concerned about a corporation that scans my email, sees that I like product X, and then, while I'm browsing with someone looking over my shoulder, sees an ad related to product X, that might be embarrassing.
Or, I would be more annoyed that some slimeball that doesn't like me somehow hacks my email and then seeks to smear me.
It's the corporations and your enemies and your frenemies that are going to cause you more harm than that which apparently bothers you so much.

Are you a PR agent for the NSA?
Absolutely not. I'm stating a practical truth. I'm not bothered by something that has no effect. But I am bothered by the things which do have an effect.
