You should probably do some reading before you make accusations like that.
Also, the concern with SSL encryption is keeping your personal information (like bank accounts, credit cards etc) out of the hands of thieves. It is not to keep it out of the hands of the law enforcement.
Why don't you want the law enforcement to know about what you are doing?
https://www.cloudflare.com/security-policyhttps://www.cloudflare.com/transparencyI quite like cloudflare's policies. They will only release information if required by law, and even then they will only release the limited scope of the information without any of the keys that would make all of it accessible. They will also release transparency reports about requests by government agencies and if possible inform users on what of their information was requested by government agencies.
But is it 100% guaranteed that all countries in the world will not try to force their way in to get the info without CloudFlare's permission? I know that CloudFlare will be transparent about it but the possibility that a government agency goes that far (eg China or North Korea, for example) is probably what compu is concerned about. Not that I have anything to hide, personally, although I am not too comfortable about the idea of my Paypal login/password falling into the hands of random strangers since we never know what people might be up to.

If you followed the news over the last year, you would know that these policies are worth nothing if the US government can just send them a National Security Letter or force their way in.

Let's just not forget that StartSSL gives out free SSL certs for everyone
So does this mean I won't be able to access websites that use the free ssl with my android 2.3 gingerbread phone?
https://blog.cloudflare.com/universal-ssl-be-just-a-bit-more-patient/#errorsyoumayseeAll browsers will show the error until they finish provisioning SLL certificates. After that only older browsers will show an error, on which you can just tell it to ignore that error forever. Not all browsers let you remember that choice though.
