The amazing thing is that you welcome this with such open arms. Do you not remember when you were a kid being able to play in your yard for hours without your parents hovering over you, scanning the horizon? Do you not remember being able to run up and down your block with the other kids and having your mom call you in for dinner after a few hours of playing in the neighborhood? Oh, it occurred to me that maybe you're too young to remember that. And now our children have the misfortune of growing up in a world where parents must accept that random people will be pointing cameras at their property at an unspecified time (sometime between 9 and 4) and that if kiddie wants to ride his bike up and down the driveway for a few minutes, you must stand next to them the whole time. What a sad childhood our kids are going to have. And how many lessons in life are they going to miss out on because people like you require parents to hover over their children like nervous Nellies after you've gleefully informed them that they and their children have no expectation of privacy. "Hey, parents! Google is taking pictures of your home. AT&T is tapping your phone. Comcast is tracking your email. But what are you complaining about?! You have no expectation of privacy. You should be SUPERVISING!"
