Am I Paranoid?

I often feel that eyes are watching me wherever I go. Is this narcissism, paranoia, or both? Maybe its true. In this age of Google Maps, On Star, GPS, and untold satellite surveillances, one simply cannot be too wary or careful.
For your consideration, I present (above) irrefutable evidence that even in bucolic nature we are all being watched. I won't tell you where I found this watchful specimen, just in case its (John Birch) compatriots are tuned into this blog. But just remember even the trees have eyes (as well as branches, bark, and leaves). Is your privacy being challenged?

Anymore, I often feel like I'm the last person in the world (along with a small handful of fellow conspiracists) who cares about privacy. Faced with a world where social networking is king, will we survive? Can I still have a shot at success even without a Facebook page?
