Many species in the animal kingdom camouflage themselves, so they won't be eaten by predators. I wonder if you could convince one of these animals to stop camouflaging themselves with an argument that the predators won't hurt you so long as you stop doing anything that might attract the predator.
When I first read your comment, I was thinking "Man, that ain't even the same thing."
But then it hit me that this is exactly the case socially. As Congressman Weiner is finding out, the predators will use what you reveal to feed on you.
We do need to feel free to take care of personal business without the overhead of always trying to guess what others will do with the info.
