Your ISP is - or soon will - be datamining the crap out of your browsing data, or injecting supercookies, or replacing NXDOMAIN queries taking you to their advertisement pages, or worse.

Encrypting as much of your traffic (DNS included) is only sensible unless you wish more of your data to be mined and sold.

We don't need locks to protect our homes, that's what burglary laws are for.
Like there aren't any in the U.S.
Are there? I believe the ISPs are fighting tooth and nail against being classified "common carriers" and are winning in the name of "innovation" :)
Hah.
My favorite is cell providers replacing http advertising with their own.
