  >obviously has its interest, and not MY interest at heart.
Their interest is your interest.  If they get more info on you, they can
tailor their service and products better to suit your needs.
MB>Who knows, like guns, radios could very well be thought of by
  >our socialist government to be tools of terrorism, and one day you
  >and your family might become the target of a hit team like Randy
  >Weaver was....
You're reaching here.  The government couldn't care less about you and
me.
MB>Since I trust them NOT, the less the gestapo knows the better...
Radio Shack, the gestapo?  Hehe!  Paranoia big time here!
MB>If you want to see one of those mass harassment mailing lists in 
opperation,
  >try sending back a publishers clearinghouse envelope and see what arrives 
in
  >the mail, and worse, every scam telemarketer calling on the phone...
I did and have never won squat!  It is a gimmick, no one really wins
except them.  If you subscribe to magazines, you could probably do
better to just get one of those cards and mail it in.
MB>I don't pay for a phone to be solicited by scam artists...
Neither do I but whether you give info or not to vendors, you'll still
get the calls at all hours of the day and night.  You can't win there.
MB>You are ultimatly responsible for your own security and peace...
Wish it was that easy.  I pay taxes and can't even get the town to
re-pave my street with huge pot holes.  Mayor answered one of my letters
saying that they were going to replace the street sign on the corner and
it never happened.  Where's my peace-my car bounces down the street each
time I drive out of my driveway.
