Totally agree. They really should have made the default to allow zero permissions. Then there could be a page in the app (or in facebook) where you can explicitly allow each requested permission once you've at least had a moment with the app. As it stands now, though, I never use the facebook option. The few times I did before, I raced to my profile to see if anything was posted. The current model is sort of like a store clerk saying, "Come on in... and let me use your phone to call some of your friends."
