"It's called "public records." The LDS have simply been collating and organizing what is out there. We do it for our own religious purposes, yes, but no favors have been given. And we've also "given back" in terms of making all this information, in its organized form, freely available."

Yes public records for and from the Interior Department. What does this have to do with religion anyway? I have a problem with any Church collecting information on people who do not belong to their organization. BTW, lets not mention that this data helped the Mormon Church to perfect a database that it uses in other endeavors.

Well, gee, we passed it by the Federal Religion Czar, and he approved it, so I guess it must be okay. Okay?

Make up your mind, on one hand you say we have no business gathering it, then you gripe about how we put the information to religous use.
