I'll bet I'm not the only one who went to the website for tracking sex offenders and bookmarked it.

Found three within a two-block radius.

Unfortunately, they lump all those convicted of sexual crimes together. So, it may be a guy who was convicted at age 18 of having sex with a 16 year old (not good, but does not make him a sexual predator).
I wish they would change the law to reflect what sort of sex crime the person was convicted of.

question: when you went to the site, did your neighborhood/ city automatically display without you entering any vital info? Mine did, and that leads me to question just what type of technology that site uses to locate my computer. It is a rather unsettling reminder of the Orwellian world we're living in.

And before anyone wastes keystrokes issuing the platitude "well, if you have nothing to hide, blah, blah, bull." I don't have anything to hide but I do enjoy my (illusion of) privacy.

And as to your query, because of that disturbing uneasiness and the fact that even now, after leaving the site, my computer (which is a bit older and, therefore, admittedly, technologically slower) is experiencing scrolling delays, I have not book marked it and will not be visiting it again. Too bad, because in theory, it is a good reference to have available.
