The <a href="http://www.eff.org/issues/anonymity">EFF has a good overview</a> of how anonymity was crucial to the founding of the United States and has been recognized by US courts as a fundamental and important right. In fact, governments mandate anonymity in many cases themselves:

It would be impossible to rehash the entire anonymity debate here - it is too large an issue with too many nuances, and there are plenty of other places where this information can be found. We do have a <a href="page faq-abuse">Tor abuse</a> page describing some of the possible abuse cases for Tor, but suffice it to say that if you want to abuse the system, you'll either find it mostly closed for your purposes (e.g. the majority of Tor relays do not support port 25 to prevent anonymous email spamming), or if you're one of the
