You have nothing to hide until you need to hide something you believe. It's obvious in other countries (Turkey, Iran, so on) that the government is seeking dissidents and locking down Internet to silence the people (so that they can get away with shit). But the USA is also trying this - by the way of various lawsets (SOPA, TPA, PIPA). And when that passes, you'll have plenty to hide - that you watch shows/listen to music not licensed in the US (or without your personal license, like downloading it from a place not authorized by whoever carries the copyright... which could also shut down Netflix). So even if you have nothing to hide /now/, using VPNs or TOR is a way to protest against these things.
