Lopsided View At The Beach

I read in the news yesterday NST 18 January 2005, something about
one guy in Australia being charged in court and found guilty of
having photos taken in Bondi beach that includes images of topless
women sunbathing. More interestingly is that the authorities now
intend to pass a law 'outlawing' taking photos at the beach!!

Not too long ago, topless sunbathing was considered unlawful, while
photography at the beach was a common thing amongst the beach-goers,
whatever their photography intentions were.

Now they want to protect the topless and outlaw the camera toting
(camera h/phones included) masses. Ha ha!! remember Pareto 80/20
principle? Now more than 80% of the public are hastled for the sake
of the less than 20% topless sunbathers!! How askewed and lopsided
many things are in this world today!!!!
