Nudity is a way of getting attention called to what they were doing. I think they were "putting it all out there" to support what they believe in, which is more than most of us do.

Thank you , Madame Zora, for your insight. She correctly makes the point that the protestors were willing to bare all to express our first amendment right (AND DUTY&#33 to peacefully protest. I would say to all of you who dont understand this to witness comedian George Carlin&#39;s response to the state department&#39;s proposal to let Iraq borrow our constitution: "Why not let them borrow it?
We certainly arent using it at the moment".

God bless George Carlin and Madame Zora. They get it. How about the rest of you?

Wait, we get a United States of Iraq?..

Anyway, O/T, Zora rules and I do believe that peaceful protest is important, although I&#39;m apathetic to most issues nowadays.

Incase you missed the blurb:

On Saturday, July 23, an impromptu crew of exhibitionists and flashers decided it was a good day to expose their private parts to everyone in Berkeley. In order to avoid possible arrest, they cleverly disguised their public sexual escapade as a political protest. They dubbed the protest "Breasts Not Bombs."

I boldened a few bits just to make sure you saw them.


Thats why I made that comment.

I&#39;m gonna go out on a limb and say that, while it is a good thing that they are comfortable with theirs bodies and willing to risk humiliation for what they believe in; the whole "lets shock the squares mentality" is off by like 36 years. Did you read about USC&#39;s ban on nuditity as a way to stop a student calling himself the "Naked Guy"? Nudity isn&#39;t a political statement anymore, it&#39;s just something you do for shits and giggles.
