[Leica] Photographic Freedom

[leica_r8 at hotmail.com (Aram Langhans)]

While I agree that some restrictions are ludicrous because they will not do 
anything to protect the citizenry, you have to admit that the powers that be 
are between a rock and a hard place.  If the do nothing and something 
happens they are seen as every bit as guilty as if they do too much.  And to 
them, the price of doing nothing is more serious than doing something. 
Everybody is "Monday morning quarterbacked" them to death.  I think they are 
mostly sincere in trying to prevent some tragedy in this present world wide 
situation but sometimes do clearly, from other's standpoint, go overboard 
and this must be pointed out to them.  I would like to give the majority of 
them the benefit of the doubt and think that their intention is not control 
of the citizenry, but protection, even if misguided.
