I was telling Heather that I was beginning to think that since I was getting older, I may becoming less tolerant of people I don't know meddling with my personal affairs via the methods you mention. But that's not the case. Instead, what I came to realize is that I'm just more familiar now with the "capabilities" at the fingertips of these insurance companies, loyalty groups, financial insititutions, etc. The end result: I don't trust anybody with that data, regardless of their privacy policy. Ya, I know... pretty soon I'll be the one wearing the tinfoil on my head screaming about aliens. Gattica <a href="http://(http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0119177/)" rel="nofollow">(http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0119177/)</a> was an awesome movie... I wonder how far away we are from THAT reality. It seems closer and closer every day. Alec, this is the exact conversation I had just a week ago with my significant other!

Gattica (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0119177/) was an awesome movie… I wonder how far away we are from THAT reality. It seems closer and closer every day.

The rules of privacy blur easily when companies dabble in all facets of the economy (a la your Costco example).... -jules You make some terrific and terrifying points Alec.

Go and read "The COMsumer Manifesto". Information is only useful to them (corporate organizations) when they have unfettered and unfiltered access. Similarly, aren't you outraged that you don't get an electronic copy of it. If safeway was smarter I could contract for 75% of my groceries in advance for a year. I could also share that info with my friends etc. No need to give my name away though. There's lots of potential for US in this world. Keep up the passionate writing.
