Freedom and the Body

      The human body is supposed to be a beautiful thing, so why are some people insulted by it? A nude human body is not an assault or an affront to anyone. It hurts no one, it is indeed, something that most of us have seen anyway. Why are some offended by the familiar? Nudity is an aspect of spiritual completeness. Clothes do not make us more moral, they are only there to fill the burden of social correctness imposed on us by others. Why do people assume that those who have different ideas are automatically bad or immoral? Why do they assume that the body's natural state is abhorent and degrading? Who imposed these ideas on us? How does it hurt others?
      It is much easier to fear and hate those who have different ideas and to take actions that hurt them and could even destroy them, rather than try to understand their point of view and as long as they aren't hurting others, let them be, or discuss their ideas and philosophy with them. You might learn that they are not so different or "bad" after all.
      Freedom is something that is getting harder and harder to find in America, and people need to be reminded that if we continue to censure people for being free and open minded, soon America will be worse than Nazi Germany ever was. Many people are trying to tell us how to think and what to think. America is about freedom.
