Besides the habit part, it's also a political statement.
Yes.
The less any government can control, the better, and since GPG means they can't control a poster's privacy that's one more useful tool against the State.
You're an american? I don't know, but I usually don't feel that I need to take action against my state or government. I have grievances against certain people that are part of our government, but I feel this is something different. As I said, part of my use of gpg is a political statement, too - but more on the lines of 'it is legal now to use it, and it shall remain that way.'
