I don't think I ever said that; the point, to get back on topic, is that people should have the right to as much privacy as possible in their movements and activities, and not be forced to have those movements and activities open to general access (even if it might be social custom). If someone wants to have their location known at all times, fine, but under no circumstances should that be a requirement. And maybe you think it's paranoid to even think it might be required, but look at how fast the various internet providers agreed to turn individual internet search records over to the government as soon as they were asked to. In these days it becomes more and more necessary to be vigilant in preserving one's civil rights.
There is an off switch in iPhones to turn off location services. I'm sure Snow Leopard will have one, too.
