Stuff like birthdays I don't care about the government having, everyone's forthcoming with that, and you need that for a drivers license anyways.

Precisely.

To your point though, what if that's all there getting on said persons is their birth date. Thus leading to the point that having that sort of power is no real threat.

This reminds me of the event that caused people to get scared about their email accounts because people thought the government was looking at everyone's individual emails which evidently was created out of fear and not knowing what the actual reason behind it was.

As Frown said, most of this stuff stems from fear, and not control itself.

Still waiting on what kind of information would be obtained that would have any negative effect on someone.

That's what I'm getting at. The only thing I can really think of that'd be a negative outcome would be your personal debit card number. Other than that, people can know whatever the **** they want to know about me.

Well that, and my SSN, but that should be obvious.

I'm relatively sure they would be able to access a person's SSN number

And...the government is going to commit large scale identity theft with it? Nevermind that social security is run by the government.

I wasn't necessarily mentioning SSN's for the argument, since it seems obvious that those are particularly safe as far as public information is concerned.

However, I still don't know how it'd be useful to them to know my SSN as it would only tell them what they already know.

I feel like I should be able to give you a wet willy for this after you made fun of me for living with my mother.
