psiman99 - I thank you for your pictures, but as for your statements I can only say: you are quite correct in your position, but utterly wrong in taking it. Yes, by choosing to be naked in public, these women subject themselves, without any legal recourse, to whatever photographic invasion may be visited on them. If, however, that attention makes them sufficiently uncomfortable, even outraged, what they have every right to do, and what I am positive many will choose to do, IS NEVER DO IT AGAIN! Does the expression "Pyrrhic victory" (winning the battle, only to lose the war because of the battle's cost) resonate at all? What I assume we all want is to get more, not less, participants in these events, and I implore you, and anyone who takes similar positions to yours, to carefully consider what attitudes are most likely to achieve that end. Thanks, and I now leave the soapbox...
