perverts and deviants

go into locked web sites to perve on pornography. If I looked out my top floor flat in Sydney and perved on my neighbour with binoculars, I would be arrested. If I put a video system in my flat and rented it out so I could perve on the tenants I would be exposed by Current Affair and I should be arrested. That is deviant behaviour. So why is it alright for Google Earth to perve on me from space and take a photo of me reversing out of my driveway on 23 June 2005 at 2.16 pm on a work day when I had told my boss I was sick in hospital? Why is it alright for one country to perve on the defence and other activities of friendly or hostile nations by means of satellites and unmanned drones? Why is this activity not being called for what it is - perverted and deviant behaviour? Why are we not distancing ourselves from a country which behaves like this? And why when I want to go to Pine Gap and take photos myself and be equally deviant am I not allowed to even take my camera inside?
