CATHY SEIPP says we’re living in Gladys Kravitz nation:

But is it really a harmless situation that now anyone with Internet access can find out, for free, your age; for a few dollars, your address; and for just a few dollars more, a complete background check? Beyond issues raised by the ChoicePoint scandal, the MasterCard fiasco, and general identity theft, why is complete public access to the particular location of exactly where you live perfectly legal? . . . There’s no point anymore, for instance, to defense attorney arguments that Megan’s Law is invasive because it allows worried citizens to find out the addresses of sex offenders. Sex offenders can now find out where worried citizens live and they don’t need any special law to do it.

She’s not very happy with this state of affairs.
