Hey, that's my rooftop!

Have you tried out Google Maps? Maybe I'm late to this one, but I don't mindlessly surf the way I used to in school. As a matter of fact, I got tired of the internet a couple of summers ago. I was at a dead-end job, and did nothing but surf the Net 8 hours a day. I went to the end of the Internet, and yes...there is a site. Don't believe me? Click here...

Anyway, I digress, the address is www.maps.google.com. If you click on satellite, you can get an overhead view of whatever physical address you've entered. Should stalker technology be that accessible? I typed in my parents' address, and could see the sign in front of the community, and the neighborhood gates. In these days of "homeland security" (and the previous days of school shootings), should this information be not only so easily/readily accessible, but free?
