The Purge/Nude for a day
My wife and I recently watched the movie "The Purge". The purge is a 12 hour period once a year where all crime is legalized. The idea is that if people can release their violence one day a year, the rest of the year crime is nearly non-existent.
I got to thinking, what if public nudity was legal everywhere one day per year? Would you participate? Where would you go? What would you do?
Sure we'd participate. First stop, Starbucks for a cup of coffee, then onto the golf course for a round. Afterwards, to the movies to catch a movie and then to one of our local wineries for a bottle of wine and some dinner and then finish the night off with watching the fireworks over the casino from our local park. :)
It should be obvious that Post #2 was written tongue-in-cheek
to illustrate how government can impose standards of morality upon the public.
Reading between the lines, The Decree, for one day, places the same
restrictions on textiles as it does, everyday, upon nudists. It was never suggested that the
unwilling would be stripped naked, only that if they wore clothing, they would
have to remain indoors, or in private areas where they could not be seen by the
public. Is this not the same restriction that nudists now face?
On a serious note: I have long believed that if
all beaches were opened to nude swimming and sunbathing, it would soon become
so commonplace, as to lose all shock value. Fifty years ago, a bikini bathing
suit was shocking. Is anyone shocked, today?
Post # 1 asked a simple question. Would you participate?
Post # 2 is typical government involvement into something they have no business getting into. Typically the government sets a rule for everyone to follow then they find that one size does not fit all. Then comes the list of exemptions. With the possibility of exemptions we need to have a bureaucracyto over see the exemptions and decide which exemptions will be allowed and which ones won't.A new bureaucracy requires a director, a budget, timekeepers, payroll clerks, personnel department, a building to operate out of, telephones, computers, enforcement staff, etc., etc., etc.
All this so a few people can get naked. Let's keep it simple; keep nudity private. Rely on private nudist resorts and our own homes and keep the government out of it. Oh, how I wish the government would ignore us entirely.
I would definitely participate. Would like it if the decree were modified slightly, amongst other things, to allow nudity all day. That way I could head out for a bike ride before 10AM.I do agree that they should allow hats and gloves.
