Tony Long can be added to the list of people who are hopeless when it comes to Google's street view:

In an Associated Press story, Google spokeswoman Megan Quinn shrugs off any privacy concerns, saying: "This imagery is no different from what any person can readily capture or see walking down the street." I don't know how often Ms. Quinn walks the mean streets of her town, but it's not comparable at all. For one thing, the casual pedestrian isn't staring at a computer screen with your image plastered all over it. And being spotted on the street by a single person, someone as anonymous as you are, is a far cry from being available to the prurient curiosity of millions of online peeping toms.

In Long's world, newscasters have never broadcast street scenes with random people flitting by, and newspapers have never published pictures of street scenes, either. I wonder what color the sky is where he lives?
