When a nude person walks down the street, and it can be claimed that is was a "traumuatic experience for nearby children," what terrible things does that say about our culture? If our children are traumatized by a nude person, then what does that say about that child's parents? What does it say about our culture when the majority of people are "traumatized" by the sight of a nude person? Are there really so few Americans that don't even understand the most basic of human conditions and freedoms? No one that was there complained. No one was hurt. The government charged her with breaking the law. I guess that is the America I live in. An America, where everyone is unequally punished for doing nothing wrong. It's just so hard to believe that there are such huge numbers of people that are so privileged that they can afford to be so ignorant and destructive. I don't know why it's surprising; I guess I'm surrounded by this every day. Do you understand why nudity laws are a ridiculous travesty, in America? Sure, in North Korea, it's totally reasonable to have nudity laws, and also to pray to God, Kim Jong Il, right? Or maybe I shouldn't be so uppity and think America should be different than Venezuela, or Cuba. I guess the America that I dream of, the one that stands for civil liberties or individual freedoms, or something, doesn't really exist. Sorry, I guess I'll get back to praying to Kim Jong; you too, by the way . . . . or else . . . Thank you Erykah Badu! Thanks for standing up and doing something that so many don't have the courage to do, or don't have the intelligence or education to understand. Thanks for the video, it's awesome. |
