Etiquette

I notice this when I walk by the Holocaust Memorial in Boston a lot.  It is true for any type of memorial.  It is okay to take pictures, but don’t take the happy fun pictures there.  Memorials are made in the memory of a person or a group of people that died, usually for some cause or in some tragedy. There may be people at the memorial with a love one being memorialized.  Getting a picture of yourself in front of said memorial smiling and making the “V for Victory” sign, might not be the best idea.  Do you see how it might offend someone.  I understand it is a free country and all that.  You are free to take whatever picture non lewd picture you want, but someone else is free to put a boot upside your head,  the cops are then free to haul that person off to jail, then that persons family is free to live a life of poverty.  Don’t cause a family to live a life of poverty, think before you snap.
