Google+ is my nightmare

When one company has that much info about you, it's never a good idea.

Like your bank, credit card company, utilities company, cell phone, cable, internet, insurance company...

I'm not happy about any of it, but it's become the payoff for living in the United States. Every company that gets their hands on your information sells of your information. A quick lexis nexis search will show you how little privacy you have anymore. Google's the easy target now, but there's a certain amount of control you have on what information is provided, especially on a social networking site that doesn't verify your validity. If they did, my Juan Estupido and Gunther Uberdyke accounts wouldn't exist.
