Oh cry me a river. Seriously...

Google is a company that buys and sell's ad's. This funds their free services like docs, mail and search.

Without their ad's Google wouldn't exist and using their search data to help with adwords is simply Google adding value to their main revenue stream.

Google using SSL helps protect you from third parties. By using Google for search you are effectively saying you trust them. If this bother's you use Bing...
