Exactly - invasion of privacy is not "evil" as it is important part of the fight against terrorists/sex offenders/any other "evil" group. Hence it is not evil to invade the privacy of everyone to stop the "evildoers".
Widescreen can be done perfectly acceptably over SDTV on a widescreen SDTV. Most Freeview channels in the UK broadcast SDTV widescreen streams which work so there is no reason why you have to upgrade to HDTV just to get widescreen.
If people followed the guidelines on slideshow based presentations which is that one slide should last in the region of 3-5 minutes and reinforce key points then they would all be a lot more bearable. In school some teachers where insistant on students doing presentations using powerpoint (which is good for practice for public speaking) however there should be rules put on people to stop the very common method of reading off the slides and nothing else. This would be far more beneficial as it would encourage people to either write and learn a proper presentation or to really know there subject and have confidence in speaking on the fly about it.
PS - all sound effects and fly-in animation should be banned.
