I'm not sure it's possible to have that dividing line even if we
wanted it. I think there will come a time when our culture does
have to "grow up" a bit to the point where video of Pamela Anderson
picking her nose won't be newsworthy, and so we will have less
need or desire for that kind of privacy.
