Censorship and the nude

You hear again and again about censorship and how it is applied to nude images with a sledgehammer. If art is censored and alternate views are squashed because the moral brigade does not like it then we head down the path of fascism and dictator ship. Every healthy society needs debate and opposing views for new ideas and new systems to be created that will ultimately improve and benefit society.

Notice that I did not say that that prudish people should be gagged (I'm sure they would love to gag anyone that does not agree with them), because i understand the importance of free speech, freedom of expression and freedom to explore new ideas, whether it is through debate or art.

The nude human form is still (after thousands of years or culture and society) and millions of years of evolution, is still such a contentious issue. I think the main reason is that the people who are against it or against its display have fallen victim to lack or education and the lack of freedom of speech and the right to view an alternate view. I think most have been conditioned like a pavlovian dog to respond in a negative way. Almost instinctively, without a real coherent reason why, other than the diatribe that has been programmed into their limited minds.

WAKE UP! You are nude right this very minute. Under your clothing your are as naked as the day you where born and shall remain that way for your entire life. Until you find peace with your won body, you cannot hope to find peace with another's.

My advice is take of all your clothes. Stand completely nude in front of a full length mirror and have a good look at your self. Do you see anything dirty, revolting, vile or repugnant? If you do the problem lies with your own view of your self. Until you learn to accept who you are and how you look do not judge others.
