i am very easy on the brakes and it only starts to squeal when it has heated up. when cold there is no noise. And the fool at the dealer said he can take any one of the hondas on his lot and make them squeal

My car does not squeak at all.
Usual causes:
1) Contaminated pads and/or rotors
2) Warped rotor disc (check lug nut tension)
3) Loose caliper screws
4) Improperly lubed caliper screws/retainers
5) Bad bearings
6) Wrong pads (like aftermarket pads)
7) Missing or improperly installed shims

If you want to keep pressing this with the dealer, tell them to inspect the installation of the brake pads and make sure the pads and shims are properly installed and that the moly-grease has been properly applied.
That being said, I think the advice to use the brakes harder from time to time is actually the most likely correct solution. These brakes don't really want to be babied. They want to be "abused", relative to normal street driving. I've seen 04 brakes survive several days of high speed track use, so there is very little you can do to really over-use them on the street, short of driving everywhere with the brakes dragging.

same thing happened with the g35 and evo crowd, complaining about squealing, both had brembos. i don't think u.s. is ready for performance, prolly why we get watered down everything.
didn't they get rid of the brembos on the g35?
