I have a bone to pick with the original author of this post.
While I completely agree with the sentiment, about how it is not cool to videotape other people, and embarrass them via the internet, I would like to point out one thing...

I do concur, bosses, managers, owners, et al. should have no business knowing what you do on your free time, but I do take exception to the other half of that statement.
If you put your family, personal relationships, and most importantly children, in serious jeopardy by altering your consciousness at a rock concert, maybe it's time you seriously reconsidered your responsibilities, and straightened out your priorities. But to each is own.

I don't think that we disagree. I am not advocating getting blasted on psychedelics and freaking in public places. But parents and professionals etc. have been altering their consciousness from time immemorial without jeopardizing those priorities, and arguably while bettering themselves. We're not talking about crack or meth here.

The only thing new under the sun is the trend toward voyeuristic capture and dissemination into a world that may not understand and may not have sympathy. All I am asking is that people pause and consider the possible repercussions of their decisions. Not a very controversial thought.
