Could it be possible that Yahoo! Answers was created by the NSA to collect information, based on questions and answers, to build a psychological profile of everyone who uses this site, by covertly tracing their I.P Address, so that it can be used against them at a later date. OR could it be possible that Answers is being USED by the NSA or possibly corporations to build pyschological profiles on current or potential consumers, in a bid to reshape the market to fit with a certain demographic. OR using the information from this site to determine various demographics in order to market products and/or services to target audiences? It is my understanding that large corporations look out for their own interests and never the interests of the consumer.
Any thoughts?

Thank you, all. I like making people think. And btw, I'm not paranoid, but I just think too much.
P.S. They can't control our minds...... yet.

I think it is a damn good possibility that you may have hit on something here.
Hey anything is possible with the current administration.
They already are spying on web stuff and tapping phones. Why shouldn't they use this as a forum to collect and collate data?

Makes since to me. Why else would they make it? There is no other use for it. Except as a place for bored people like me to answer weired and interesting questions.

Or an answer to incredibly bored people, like me. It's a popularity contest, and Yahoo is winning.
And if you're right, than you're going to be assassinated.
