[Leica] in america we walk wherever we want to

[Kyle Cassidy <KCassidy@asc.upenn.edu>]

Daniel ridings told us of life in europe:

>Ted, I mentioned in another posting our "allemansrätt" (everyman's right). 
>We have a right to go anywhere we want _except_ into a person's home.
That's 
>the limit. We can walk all over their property (not their yards, ... that 
>would be disturbing their privacy), pick their wild flowers, mushrooms, 
>camp out etc.

We have something very similar in the hood in West Philadelphia, where I
live. Around 2:15 every morning when the Watutsi Pub lets out at the end of
the street, patrons use my yard to finish up their last beer, dispose of the
bottle, fight with their significant other (oftentimes joined in by the
woman the SO was caught making out with at the bar), relieve themselves, or
get a little shuteye. Hadn't thought of calling it freedom, but I like the
ring of that. Makes everything seem rosier.
