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. The limit being their yards and their homes. What I do in a mall does not disturb anyone's privacy. It's a public place. Period. In Sweden you can't buy land and set up a country within a country. You're house can be your castle, and your garden as well; that's privacy. The rest is open to the public. There are few ... if any ... exceptions. It's called freedom :) > So if you would sir, would you please explain your reason for "weird?" > Thank you. > ted I hope I did. Malls are not anyone's home. There is no privacy there (except in the WC). Best, Daniel - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html
