Tracking locations

Why would I want Google, or anyone for that matter, to track my location? It is none of Google's business where I am. If I believed that it would only be used by customers who want to be tracked, I would feel better about this, but I have very limited trust of commercial enterprises, and even less of the government.

Can't GPS be disabled on most Cell Phones except the E911 service(s)?

If only the Verizon CSRs worked this well.
