Guiltlessly Nude and Vain

PEOPLE HAVE THE RIGHT to take pictures of themselves unclothed, and to show them to other people. They have the right to post those pictures on the internet,safely and securely, and to control who looks and looks not at them. People also have the right to stroll through Central park at midnight, unarmed, wearing diamond studded earrings, rings, and necklaces, with their gorgeous curvaceous female bodies adorned only in a string bikini. One has the right to place a pile of money on one's front porch, with the porch light on, and then leave the house. They have the right to park their car on the upper west side of New York City without locking the doors, leaving twenty dollar bills strewn across the front seat, dome light on. They have the right to expect everyone to respect their personal property rights at at times, under all circumstances. But maybe, just maybe, it isn't the best idea to do any of these things. Enter the politically correct police, accusing the purveyors of good judgment of blaming the celebrities themselves for the hacker theft of nude photos. Nobody is blaming the celebrities. The beautiful young female citizens are blameless. The crime was committed by the criminals. Those who suggest that it might be a better choice to refrain from posing nude in front of a camera and sharing the pictures with others are merely whispering free, first amendment , friendly advice. The celebrities are guilty only of poor judgment and vanity.
