So you're ok with Google having your information (reading your e-mail, scanning your streets, etc.) but not the government...

Ahhhhhhh

google doesn't read my email.
if i can drive by a house and look at it, then seeing it online is ok.
everyone doesn't have public access to my email.

If you have Gmail, Google has complete access to your e-mail. It's in the TOS.

You can't drive by and see the images they had removed. They were from inside a military installation.

He told the BBC that it was "not our policy to request access to military installations, but in this instance the operator of the vehicle with the camera on top - which is how we go about capturing imagery for Street-View - requested permission to access a military installation, was given access, and after learning of the incident we quickly removed the imagery".

Good.

A psychotic world we live in. The madmen are in power. How long have we known this? Faced this? And--how many of us do know it? Perhaps if you know you are insane then you are not insane. Or you are becoming sane, finally. Waking up. I suppose only a few are aware of all this. Isolated persons here and there. But the broad masses... what do they think? All these hundreds of thousands in this city, here. Do they imagine that they live in a sane world? Or do they guess, glimpse, the truth...?
