Here's what Google says about analytics:
Website owners that use Google Analytics have control over what data they allow Google to use. They can decide if they want Google to use this data or not by using the Google Analytics Data Sharing Options. When these options allow, the data is used to improve Google products and services. Website owners can change these options at anytime. http://www.google.com/intl/en/analytics/privacyoverview.html...
Since I have no control over it, I block Google analytics.

Am I supposed to install an opt-out plugin for every single tracking service in the world? There are hundereds of those, and asking each of them to voluntarily stop tracking me makes no sense.
At least, there's still an opt out =/

If you are really paranoid you could mirror their cdn libraries and rewrite the urls, as they could be used as fairly poor info too...

The issue is they have the potential to do it.
Once the potential is there and you have people motivated by performance targets, stock price, etc it's very difficult to permanently resist the temptation.
It is nearly their only service that I haven't blocked (with the libraries available on their CDN).
