Privacy Degree

Public figures right to privacy?

Should public figures be given the same degree of privacy as the general population?

Public figures do deserve the same degree of privacy as we do. However, the exception is, whenever they are in public...it is public. They can never share our level of privacy when shopping at the mall or eating at a fast food restaurant. If George Bush decides to throw his milkshake at a waitress, then it needs to hit the national news. If you do the same thing, it doesn't even have to ever be mentioned. I don't think we have the right to know what a public figure is doing 24/7 or within the confines of their homes, unless they make it public. If Angelina Jolie wants to walk around her house naked with the windows open and shades drawn, then by all means she's inviting the public in. I don't believe the paparazzi should go to the limits they go to when getting pictures and such, but photo ops are photo ops.
