Remember the naked student "streakers" ?
I suspect that thay
waived their rights to privacy; yes?
Over the years n decades, I have observed some of my cousins' children
or some of my girlfriends' children to be exhibitionistic, in calling for attention.
I believe that it has been our experience in life that
sometimes
we insist upon vindication of our rights, but not always.
I imagine that we
coud be brutal in exacting repayment from the French
of our loans to them in World War I, but we choose not to take that vu,
in effect
WAIVING our rights. That was my state-of-mind qua getting
my rear end unexpectedly fotografed in 2005; not worth getting outraged about.
A drunken driver totaled out one of my cars; I chose to be magnanimous toward her.
Sometimes we choose
not to exercise our rights to privacy
; other times we
DO.
(Witness the disagreement between yourself n Bill, wherein
I support your position, on that point.)

Depending upon the individual circumstances,
I can see that this might be very fair and just.
firefly wrote:and all of this has been previously discussed in this thread--why keep re-hashing it?
Because of differences in my levels of energy to address the question.
In earlier discussions, I have felt inadequate energy to type in
some of the comments and questions that I deemed interesting.
I felt bad about it, as I was falling asleep.
That has been true of many threads in these on line fora.
For any temporal discontinuity: I earnestly apologize.

Yes, indeed. I took a lot of pleasure in that.
The question of photography never occurred to us.
If it had, I dunno what we 'd have decided.
These days, some people now make movies of their erotic pursuits.
No one ever offered us money for any modeling fees.
(We were in private.)
DAVID wrote:Has your mood changed yet, Firefly, against commenting on those 2 videos
Putting humor aside for the moment,
Firefly,
I have learned to admire and respect your demonstrated powers of analysis.
Accordingly, I am interested to see whether those 2 speeches
have affected your opinions on the wisdom of giving statements to the police,
when your mood allows for scrutiny & contemplation thereof.
