rights and responsibilities

Whats this you might say if you are still reading. More ranting from the geezer.

Lets start with a picture.

So there I was last wednesday morning after a bit of ecology work having a walk along part of the Trent and Mersey Canal in the Fradley area near Lichfield. Lovely it was, quiet relaxed walking some nice birds, Hobby for starters. Then beside the towpath the clothes drier in the picture above. I am hundreds of yards from any house or road and there it lies, so it must have been thrown out as broken, which it was, by a boat owner/hirer/user.

The question is WHY. And now we go to the title Rights and Responsibilities.What was wrong with taking this broken item to the nearest litter bin, it just wasnt close enough I suppose or they didnt give a ............

Then we have the infamous pictures of a certain blokes wife, and no I dont subscribe to the view that they are fair game. Everyone deserves some privacy especially if they were in a private place. Then we have a certain film that is causing upset all over the world.

Rights and responsibilities. Yes people have rights, won over many years often through much death and suffering. We also have responsibilities, and that includes the people who take pictures and make films. Is it too much to ask that people think about what the implications of what they are doing. We dont live in little bubbles where no one sees what we do, we live in a very connected world.
