are coming from. Most of us do, I think.  However, given this:
Should we use the force of government to prevent them from
asking for it? I contend no.  That is a good question. I guess
the answer best depends on whether the government is supposed to
protect its citizens, and what from. As much as I don't like to
see government intervention where it isn't necessary, the fact
is that sometimes it is necessary. I shouldn't need to worry
that I might be denied a job or further eduction at a good
school (theoretically), just because I don't want someone else
to have access to my private information. I'm not saying that it
is right that you need the government to step in, but sometimes
right or not, it is necessary, because unless everyone they ask
says no, then we, as prospective employees/students, cannot
force them to stop asking by actions on our part alone. And
there will always be so
