And ofcourse the government while it can't collect all that information on its own can sure as hell buy or rubber-stamp warrant their way into these datasets at will in order to side step the 4th amendment all together.

If people are generally willing to accept the axiom that information is power, I am continually baffled as to why they can't understand how reckless it is to allow all of this capture, sale and sharing of the intimate details of their lives.

How can we possibly defend ourselves or have any control over our lives while giving this much power to profit motive corporations?

It is just pure madness.
