Yes I've noticed, thank goodness they are starting to limit these now, whenever they get more in.
I went to a Korean grocery this morning, because I noticed few cars on the lot. They did have toilet paper, but I think it was all marked, "Sandpaper Grade". So, I got back in the car and kept driving!

I think they fear a total quarantine. TP and non-perishables tend to be hoarded the most.

I have done some documentary work homeless,
First Responders etc. Do docs and short form for business.
I saw this on Netflix and will not watch it. Netflix recently has a
bunch of Holocaust films. I have been to the museum in Israel.
And read a few books a few years ago.
But some of the films on Netflix have footage that
is just to horrible to watch.
The torture of a child by 2 awful people in LA to me
is not one to be on Netflix or any station.

I have often wondered if the increased violence on TV and in the movies does not dull our sensitivities to these kinds of occurrences, causing us to "lose our civility", as another writer stated here. Apparently, this has been studied quite a bit, but no conclusions have been reached, either way. To me, it seems like common sense.

Probably 30 years ago, I put together a consulting team to make recommendations about the Health Care provision for Foster Children, in Baltimore City. It was an eye opener. The stories we came upon were certainly not like the Netflix story, although just as certainly they were there and we simply did not witness them for ourselves; but the quality of care and ability to monitor the kids was abysmal. The vast majority of caseworkers were incredibly dedicated and caring, but the huge quantity of cases they were forced to oversee, as well as the legal restrictions under which they worked made the entire system pathetically poor. One supervisor and I went to lunch one day and I asked her about her view of the future of these children. She literally began to cry and said, "We are raising an entire generation of potential psychopaths."

You either are, or you're not.

I am a purist, as well. My feeling is that I cannot knock others for doing what they are doing. To each his/her own! But again, where do you draw the line?

You could say that about damned near every medical advance!

It's your image, your art. Unless you're trying to present as reality ("Look at this awesome rainbow I photographed!"), where's the harm?
Could not agree more. I am certain in all of these pages, this will have been stated elsewhere, but how is this much different from burning and dodging, when using film? Okay, one could go on for hours with that answer, but the point is where does one stop, in enhancing the original and still be a "purist"?
