No, but publication of your image without consent is, for example, forbidden in France. It is not a matter of what is sensitive or not, it is a matter of respect of the person, that has a right to choose whether they want to be seen by possible millions on a google picture or not.
In France, it is illegal. Every person has a right to his or her own image.
It is legal to take pictures of people in public places. It is illegal to publish them without written consent. I am not sure how well this law is applied, especially in the press, but this is the theory.
And I also think that it is illegal to take pictures of people in a private place, without consent. That would include, say, people in their home that can be seen from the street through a window.
It's far more devious. The museum creators know that all people will not switch to their views. They target the lesser educated people, who have no opinion about this stuff, and the fact that they call it a "museum" is an attempt to give creationist propaganda the illusion of being also scientifically backed, which it isn't. The doubt is set. Reason and Science both lose.
problem is, creationists have no right to equal treatment, because that would imply that their "theory" is equally plausible with evolution, which it clearly isn't. Why the US media keeps fooling people into thinking there is some kind of scientific debate about it is beyond me (apart from obvious lobbying reasons). There IS NO DEBATE. Evolution is only named a theory because there are specifics that are still not well known, not because the global process involved cannot be backed up by evidence. Creationism is just wishfull thinking.
Speaking as a Frenchman, that such a museum has been conceived and built is mind-boggling, in a bad way. It reflects poorly on the american educational system. It shows how far fundamentalists can go to counter Reason in a way that hasn't been seen in France for centuries.
actually, when they ate from the tree, they realized they were naked. maybe they dressed before and didn't realize it either.
maybe eating only grass is not good for mental health.
unlimited calls (local and long distance) in France and to dozens of foreign countries (including USA, CANADA, European Countries, north Africa, etc). If i had a SIP mobile, i could even use it with the box's WIFI.
I get most French Channels, european ones, and foreign stuff.
yeah, i was suprised this was deemed newsworthy. we have had that in France for years. I have 20Mbit+ a shitload of TV channels + unlimited free phone communications, in France and to dozens of other countries+extras... all for 30/month.
this news is sadly unsurprising.
when will the US finally step up and take something other than short-term, economic driven decisions concerning the environment?
it seems suspicious that they can count them, yet cannot identify them. "yes, 235 of them, but we have no idea which ones, and where they are. it would be too difficult to find out." yeah right.
you make the word "suspect" sound worse than "guilty". and you are not the only one. i think it is dangerous -- the foundation of modern democracy is that anyone is "innoncent until proven guilty". "if he's suspected, there must be something to it!" "if he wants privacy, it must mean he has something to hide!" etc are a disease that target democracy and basic individual freedoms.
Well, it's not paranoia if they're actually after you.
yes, because the FBI would have arrested him for vital information such as what he had for lunch. What he does is surrendering his rights and freedoms as an individual, the victory of an orwellian society.
it actually is the saddest story of all. it is the defeat of the individual, defeat of freedom. this guy spends his every hour in a state of rational paranoia.
thank God I dont live in the US anymore.

I dont know, because it is built in America and Americans visit it? is that a reasonnable enough explanation for you?
a godwin point for you sir! wtf has vichy anything to do with anything here?
They have no right to EQUAL treatment. Would you like your child in school to be taught the Earth has a 50-50 chance of being flat?

if it was after, the raptor would have turned carnivorous, and eaten the poor well dressed woman.

you mistake intuition or theory for belief.
It would be illarious if it weren't terrifying.
It's 2007 now. Not 1700.

song quirting must make them uncomfortable.
maybe the market then was also less developped as it is now.

90$/month!! what kind of speed do you get for that kind of money? I get 20Mbit and the triple play offer for 30/month over an ADSL line (France).
