Respect

In general, I'm an atheist of local news. But Vivian draws my attention to a group on Facebook, which is related to a recent happening on an ambulance.

In short, a woman who jumped from height was resuscitated in an ambulance, understandably with the clothes taken off. Some enthusiastic news specialist (yes, it's a term of my invention - hope you like it) took a picture of the scene, probably by peeping through the window. On the next morning, the picture appeared on a health-conscious local paper - accusing that the ambulance men did not respect the privacy of that dying woman. (For the details, go see the group message at: www.facebook.com/#!/group.php?gid=322585092033&ref=nf)

I shall not join and criticize those who always protect themselves behind the armor freedom of the press. After all, would you start a logical argument with a mouse in a ditch ?

But, of course, if our friends of justice need to pee or poo, we would sincerely remind them to take care of their own privacy (how do they know there's no peeper around - for example, reporters who work for some fruits ?); they should not take off their pants.

Further, if those news specialists do need some medical treatment, for sure we shall respect their privacy by the highish standard - and make sure they die without anyone knows.
