[at-l] "Free Hiking" :-)

[daveh at psknet.com (David Hicks)]

Well put.

When your post came in, I was writing up my usual response to this periodic 
troll.  Check the archives, if anyone one cares what I have said in the past 
about killing the AT as an uninterrupted foot path for your kids and 
grandkids, by thumbing your nose at regulations, ethics, convention, standard 
good taste, etc.

When it is generally accepted for one to walk nude along the main street of 
most major cities and towns, then it should be generally accepted  to do so in 
other public places, which have not been specifically designated and 
publicized as "clothing optional."

Seriously, I have nothing against nudity per se but we do live in a society
where it is not generally accepted and I think it is arrogant to go nude in
a public place and expect that others should respond as he puts it "If the
parents are personally offended by my nudity ... it's time they grow up."
Respect of others and their beliefs is part of being grown up too. As I
tried (unsuccessfully I fear) to point out in the great c... Ph.... debate,
belief does not make something *TRUE* for anyone but you and you won't
convince others of your POV by slapping them in the face with your version
of reality.
