In Democracy There is Still Discipline

I came across this news on my reader: US singer Erykah Badu fined for public nudity

I don't really know who Erykah Badu is or what she does. I even have to google to find our more about her.

But the reason why I am writing about this is the fact that she was fined and she agreed.

I just admire the way things are going. Knowing that U.S. is a democratic country and freedom of self-expression is strong, there are still limits and they could establish it and implement it. It's still nice to know that people still get fined for their actions in a democratic country.

If this happened here in the Philippines, I can imagine people crying out for democracy. People insisting their right for self-expression because we are now living in democracy. But I think that it was just right to still have the limits and implement them.

For me, this is just about respect of the law, in the midst of democracy.
