'good for the country' is a phrase often churned out by governments.
It implies sacrificing civil liberties for the 'benefit of the nation'.
This may appear noble to those who have absolute trust in those who govern you, but I don't. I see it as intrusive and just another step towards the absolute control of the population as in '1984'.
