Does it really have to be an either-or proposition? Yes, we give up some privacy every time we interact with other people. But should we be expected to give up most of our privacy in order to interact with other people?

I have no problem with Amazon sending me ads for wheeled luggage since I am shopping for one currently.

Some people would disagree. Some people don't like being bombarded by personalized email from the companies that they deal with. Others don't like the manipulative nature of advertising. Others find the amount of tracking of their personal tastes creepy. Then you have the extreme cases, like Target and that pregnant teen.

It takes all types in this world. It is good that you have people who are concerned about privacy because I doubt that anyone wants their entire life to be an open book. Whether you agree with them all of the time is a different issue altogether. While I do advocate privacy, I tend to shy away from the conspiracy theorists simply because they are too paranoid (in my opinion). You may not agree with the degree to which I want my privacy preserved, but you are probably going to agree that there are some parts of your life that you want to be private.
Please try to find some tollerance rather than medicating those who you disagree with!
