Google and Government

I love google. If anyone is thinking of Christmas presents for me I suggest google stock.

Anyways, google has yet another new function. You can now install a free program that allows the user to zoom in on almost any point on earth. You can't see distinct people, but you can see parking spaces, landscaping, buildings, open spaces, and more.

I have just started to think how this could alter politics and governing. There is a debate about a proposed project in the Knolls. If you want to form your own opinion use google earth. Does Simi Valley have enough golf courses? google earth. Are we running out of room? google earth. What does Runkle Ranch or The Alamos Canyon project look like? What about The Hummingbird Ranch condos?

Anyways, leave your thoughts here on how google earth can impact politics. If you use it, tell me one observation about Simi Valley.

The link is google earth.

That's cool?

I need to take a look at it when I get home.

How's Runkle canyon look?

The pictures on google earth are not real time, which means you can't see what is happening right now. And sometimes the photos can be a a couple of years old.

But when I look at the photos some parts of Simi Valley could really use some trees.

Hi Brian,

Here's a Christmas thought:

MERRRY CHRISTMAS SAID ANOTHER WAY

HAPPY THANKSGIVING

THE HAPPINESS OF GIVING THANKS. AS AMERICANS WE CAN EXPRESS A FEELING OF GOODWILL AND SEASONS GREETINS TO ALL.

IF THE FEW HAVE THEIR WAY. AS AMERICANS WE CAN STILL EXPRESS A FEELING OF GOODWILL AND SEASONS GREETINGS TO ALL, EXCEPT FELLOW AMERICANS!

HAVE A NICE HOLIDAY.

JOE
