Hi Geoff!

It certainly doesn't take anything to get you into ad hominem outrage.

Australia, and any country that bans private ownership of handguns by

law-abiding citizens, is a dictatorship. It may be dictatorship by

committee, but it is dictatorship nevertheless.

It is interesting that you seem to think that a person "once a doctor",

as you put it, should have some ethical restraint on his or her opinion

of dictatorship and freedom.

In addition to having been once a doctor I was once a professional

photographer. Unless the law has changed, and I have not heard that it

has, it is OK to photograph underwear wearing persons. If they are

recognizable you have to have their permission to publish the pictures

but not to take them. It is tasteless, but not "not OK".
