And it came to pass in this land that the time was accomplished for this month’s periodic collection of quotes.
Why is public nakedness considered sinful or evil? What is so bad about the human body that you have to hide it away from the gaze of others? Why is the slut shaming against naturist women? Is it just because God is a prude? For most of humanity’s history people have gone naked in public all or part of the time. Going naked in the company of others doing the same is a liberating and enjoyable experience. There is nothing intrinsically wrong about the naked body.

It had long since come to my attention that people of accomplishment rarely sat back and let things happen to them. They went out and happened to things.
