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)?
