>> What would they do if they know when each person dies and where every year inbetween elections?

Oh, that's an obvious potential voter in the next election...

>> What else can they learn from Data Mining? Beside your name, age, medical history, names of your parents, children and siblings, address and phone, what you have done in your life, what run-ins with the law.....and what do they do with this info regarding voting.....

LOL. Medical history. Now, there's something.

What do you think someone who could query Facebook's database against your Facebook posts could get from it? Mine is so full of political crap they'd be able to ascertain my position on every issue. And who agreed with me and who didn't. I'm no data mining expert, but Facebook looks almost too easy.

Apparently, here is the list of tables you can run Facebook queries against and what they contain. Looks there is a simple SQL-like language for running the queries. Looks pretty interesting...
