(preamble)

Criminal Minds have a REVERSE conscience.

They want to ENFORCE that

      – that "they are Good," and that "the others are Evil" – (*)

 onto the society and onto the whole world,

      if "necessary," BY MEANS OF MASS MURDER,

            as you may remember for instance from the Second War War,

            in which Criminal Minds thought nothing at all, of mass

            murder, including of their own population,

            BECAUSE Criminal Minds have a REVERSE conscience.

THAT IS THEIR unalterable NATURE – whether you like it or not – and

 there are about a hundred million of these individuals living on

 Earth. It is their NATURE – they are born with it: their soul, the

 person himself.

‘

They have The Rights of Criminal Minds – as set forth in the Human

 Rights Issue below.

 (See also the ‘Natural First International Law’ posted recently for

  you.)

The Rights Of Criminal Minds

                                                      8 January 2004

                                                  {HRI 20040108-V2.1}

‘

Criminal Minds have the right to be looked at.  *(1)(2)(3)(4)

 Criminal Minds have the right to be exposed.  *(5)(6)(7)(8)

‘

            These are kind (nice, friendly, caring) things to do to

            a Criminal Mind.

 THAT is respecting them.

            On the other hand, to NOT look at someone who is a

            Criminal Mind and to NOT expose him or her, is a

            very mean thing to do to a Criminal Mind.

‘

                  Apart from all the other things they do, they ARE

                  that mean however – and intentionally that mean -

                  to each other (and to themselves too);

                        And, having their conscience IN REVERSE, they

                        do consider that a "good thing:"

                        To keep Criminal Minds undetected, and falsely

                        admired, yes, even worshiped.  *(17)

                  They also deliberately let others be more evil,

                              which they enjoy to see happening,

                        to thereby let others degrade themselves even

                        further by means of whatever evil others do,

                  and that gives them their desired, but fictitious

                  feeling of ‘being superior’ to that.

‘

                        And it is never the truth that counts, but it

                        is:

                        WHAT FEELING does it (assist) in generating,

                              and the data are chosen and fabricated

                              by them, to make up that "truth,"

                              that assists the creation and experience

                              of the feeling desired.

‘

                                    Many of them will use drugs

                                         (or "prescription medicines,"

                                          these are called, in current

                                          show-business journalism)

                                    which makes it easier for them, to

                                    alter reality and

                                    to pretend, that the alteration,

                                    the fiction, is "the truth."

                              In this context, you can then understand

                              that "they are the good guy," and that

                              "you are the evil guy" "who must be

                              falsely accused and exterminated or in

                              other ways must be incapacitated"

                                    – in order to satisfy the altered

                                      reality, and the false feelings,

                                      that the Criminal Mind desires

                                      to experience "as true."

‘

‘

      No area is excluded from extending ACTUAL respect for Criminal

      Minds, which is,

      seeing a Criminal Mind when there is one:

            In politics – from local to global, in parliaments, in

            General Assemblies, in institutes, in presidents and in

            Secretaries General,

                  seeing a Criminal Mind when there is one;

            in religion – from popes to gurus, from vicars to shamans,

                  seeing a Criminal Mind when there is one;

            in science – in physics, in economics, in medicine, in

            research and in journalism, in Nobel Prize winners,

                  seeing a Criminal Mind when there is one;

            in the arts – from musicians to painters to movie makers,

            from Baudelaire to Van Gogh,

                  seeing a Criminal Mind when there is one;

            in education and family – in teachers, in pupils, in

            parents, in children, in brothers and in sisters, in

            doctors, in employers and in colleagues,

                  seeing a Criminal Mind when there is one;

            etc..

‘

      You RESPECT people by looking, looking, looking, and you do not

      let yourself be prevented from thus ACTUALLY respecting others,

      it is the only respect there is, to look at the soul and the

      intentions of others, and you get all social ills, even bodily

      ills, when true respect is prevented: *(n)(n)

            prevented by "not having someone’s permission to look at

            him," or prevented

            by "not having someone’s or the group’s permission to look

            at someone else:"

                  For instance, to look at the opposite gender, or at

                  people belonging to "another" religion or to a

                  "different" (a high or a low) social strata, etc.,

                  and to look at certain activities those "others" may

                  be engaged in,

                  and to simply look at the soul and the intentions,

                  of people "one is not supposed to look at."

                        They had a whole culture of that, in China,

                        like getting your head cut off, if you dared

                        to look at the emperor. And they had other

                        rituals, in all their social life, which all

                        were

            THE REVERSAL of actual respect.

      You RESPECT people by looking, looking, looking, and you do not

      let yourself be prevented from thus ACTUALLY respecting others.

‘

‘

      Criminal Minds see that very differently, and THEY want to

      enforce indeed the very opposite, as "normal,"

      which then also leads to a very Criminal society with endless

      sickness and turmoil and unhappiness, WHICH Criminal Minds WANT,

      whether you believe it or not, they WANT turmoil and stupidity

      and blindness,

            so that THEY are "seen"  as "the good ones," and are left

            or put in charge, "to care for people and the nation,"

                 "to put the power back into the hands of the people"

                  by which they mean, not at all ‘the hands of the

                  people nor for the people,’ but in their own hands,

                  FOR "the people,"

                        but in certain primitive countries they still

                        fall for that trick, and they WANT turmoil and

                        stupidity and blindness, and they MAINTAIN it,

                        including Internet filters, and

                        general lies and intimidation,

            so that decent and caring people, are seen as "the bad

            ones."

                  That needs a climate, an atmosphere of terror

                  – which ALL all Criminal Minds are trying to

                    establish,

                        often "legally," meaning by rule of law,

                              even though it is of course very

                              ILLEGAL,

                        trying to establish, that one is not allowed

                        to see who is good and who is bad.

‘

           "Women ‘do not have the right,’ to look at men and to see

            their (men’s) soul and their intentions. (Or even at their

            body)."

           "Men ‘do not have the right,’ to look at women, and see

            their (women’s) soul and their intentions. (Or even their

            body)."

‘

           "Children ‘do not have the right,’ to look at adults and

            see their (the adult’s) soul and true intentions."

           "Adults ‘do not have the right,’ to look at children and

            see their (the child’s) soul and true intentions."

‘

           "Patients ‘do not have the right,’ to look at doctors and

            see their (the doctor’s) soul and true intentions."

           "Medical doctors ‘do not have the right,’ to look at

            intentions."

            see their (the boss’) soul and true intentions."

           "Bosses ‘do not have the right,’ to look at juniors, and

            see their (an employee’s) soul and true intentions."

‘

‘

‘

‘

Criminal Minds have the right, not to be hated by normal people.

‘

            You can however not demand or ask of other Criminal Minds,

            not to hate them,

                  because that’s what Criminal Minds do, they are

                  ALWAYS Hating, ALWAYS full of contempt,

                        behind their, by necessity quite impenetrable,

                        mask.

                  They are Hating, and hiding that they are Hating,

                  they ALSO hate those they claim to love and to care

                  about, they are found to be ‘pretending to care:’

                        camouflaging their Hate, so that they can then

                        exert control and command,

                              based on the trust that is given to

                              someone who DOES care;

                              but THEY seek such a position,

                        in order to Hate all the more and on a very

                        wide scale, camouflaged as "care for people,"

                        as "love for Mankind", and as "responsibility

                        for the planet." *(18)(12)

‘

            Telling Criminal Minds, not to Hate, is as useless as

            ‘telling a pig not to eat:’

                  They won’t be able to follow your request, and they

                  will only pretend to comply,

                        by deceiving you and others, by creating

                        a pretended personality,

                              that you should "respect" and

                              "recognize" as "being himself,"

                              when they claim to have improved,

                              "which you must not doubt," which you

                              must not look through or even probe,

                              "else they will threaten you with a

                              serious relapse," and in fact they do

                              remain Criminal anyway, camouflaged

                        with a mask that they themselves even may

                        believe in as "being themselves," because

                       "truth does not really exist" – for them

                        anyway:

                             "Life is just a game, it’s all acting and

                              pretending and lying;"  *(17)(3)(10)(16)

                  they are preventing you from seeing or from

                  understanding, why

                        their activities actually, in fact, are driven

                        by Hate and contempt, and are an expression of

                        their Hate, and of their contempt for Life and

                        for people.*(6)

‘

‘

‘

    Normal people should not Hate Criminal Minds,

            no matter how much a Criminal Mind begs or goads (is

            teasing) you and other normal people,

                        is trying to get you to be Hateful – not only

                        to others, but even trying to get you to Hate

                        him or her as well,

                  that is, a Criminal Mind will try to get normal

                  people into radiating Hate as well,

                        which is, they will try to pull you for some

                        time into being like a Criminal Mind,

                        and even, into a state of wanting to destroy

                        a Criminal Mind further.  *(11)

‘

‘

‘

‘

Criminal Minds must not be in a position of authority.

‘

      Criminal Minds must not be in a position, where people,

      much less young people, children, are forced to depend on the

      judgments of a Criminal Mind about them, or where they have to

      comply with such judgments, examinations, certificates and the

      like,

      where people or children would have somehow to follow the

      directions or teachings of a Criminal Mind,

            or to follow the directions from those who are the

            underlings of a Criminal Mind, of those who are

            Destructive Cowards.  *(12)

‘

‘

‘

‘

Criminal Minds may be asked to leave a location.

      Asking a Criminal Mind to leave a location – asking and knowing

      the demand backed by an ability to enforce compliance,

      is often the vital action needed in many situations:

            It may be necessary in order to protect others, or to

            maintain somewhere an atmosphere of understanding and

            perception necessary, *(12) for

                 (sometimes even the basic needs, such as food and

                  shelter and communication and decency, of)

            life to restore and grow and be healthy and joyful.

            *(13)(14)(15)

Our Heavenly Mother says,

"Sometimes, when you feel lonely, I am closer than you think.

Sometimes when you offer up a prayer for someone else, the grace is

doubled for your charity."

REVELATION DELIVERED THROUGH FRANCES M. KLUG AT THE SOCIETY OF THE

LITTLE WAY MEETING ON MARCH 14,1990

      OUR HEAVENLY MOTHER

     "As I have so many times blessed you, I have blessed you in a

personal way. I have blessed you verbally, I have blessed you

silently, and I have blessed you many times as you pray.

     When you speak My Name, I bless you. When you request My Aid I

bless you, and many times I touch you. You cannot feel the Touch but

it is a Mother’s Touch of Love. Sometimes the Touch is to give you

hope. Sometimes the Touch is to wipe away a tear. Sometimes the Touch

is in a moment of cheer.

     Sometimes, when you feel lonely, I am closer than you think.

Sometimes when you offer up a prayer for someone else, the grace is

doubled for your charity.

     So many times I am so close, because I never want you to forget

the Soul you have is a Portion of Him, and because of this I am ever

present in your life, ever present in what you do. A Mother’s Love is

what I have for each and every one of you.

     My Light is Pure, My Love is Pure. I want you to remember these

words, and as you do, remember this: The Portion of Him within you

must also be pure. Your decisions are a great responsibility. Your

decisions are important. Your way of life, your faith in action is

what your Soul will show when one day the Soul returns to Him for

WHY SOCIALISM?

By Albert Einstein

From Monthly Review, New York, May, 1949.

[Re-printed in Ideas and Opinions by Albert Einstein]

"Crippling of individuals I consider the worst evil of

capitalism…..I am convinced there is only one way to eliminate these

grave evils, namely through the establishment of a socialist economy,

accompanied by an educational system which would be oriented toward

social goals.".

————————————————————————— —–

Is it advisable for one who is not an expert on economic and social

issues to express views on the subject of socialism? I believe for a

number of reasons that it is.

Let us first consider the question from the point of view of

scientific knowledge. It might appear that there are no essential

methodological differences between astronomy and economics: scientists

in both fields attempt to discover laws of general acceptability for a

circumscribed group of phenomena in order to make the interconnection

of these phenomena as clearly understandable as possible. But in

reality such methodological differences do exist. The discovery of

general laws in the field of economics is made difficult by the

circumstance that observed economic phenomena are often affected by

many factors which are very hard to evaluate separately. In addition,

the experience which has accumulated since the beginning of the so-

called civilized period of human history has — as is well known –

been largely influenced and limited by causes which are by no means

exclusively economic in nature. For example, most of the major states

of history owed their existence to conquest. The conquering peoples

established themselves, legally and economically, as the privileged

class of the conquered country. They seized for themselves a monopoly

of the land ownership and appointed a priesthood from among their own

ranks. The priests, in control of education, made the class division

of society into a permanent institution and created a system of values

by which the people were thenceforth, to a large extent unconsciously,

guided in their social behavior.

But historic tradition is, so to speak, of yesterday; nowhere have we

really overcome what Thorstein Veblen called "the predatory phase" of

human development. The observable economic facts belong to that phase

and even such laws as we can derive from them are not applicable to

other phases. Since the real purpose of socialism is precisely to

overcome and advance beyond the predatory phase of human development,

economic science in its present state can throw little light on the

socialist society of the future.

Second, socialism is directed toward a social-ethical end. Science,

however, cannot create ends and, even less, instill them in human

beings; science, at most, can supply the means by which to attain

certain ends. But the ends themselves are conceived by personalities

with lofty ethical ideals and — if these ends are not stillborn, but

vital and vigorous — are adopted and carried forward by those many

human beings who, half-unconsciously, determine the slow evolution of

society.

For these reasons, we should be on our guard not to overestimate

science and scientific methods when it is a question of human

problems; and we should not assume that experts are the only ones who

have a right to express themselves on questions affecting the

organization of society. Innumerable voices have been asserting for

some time now that human society is passing through a crisis, that its

stability has been gravely shattered. It is characteristic of such a

situation that individuals feel indifferent or even hostile toward the

group, small or large, to which they belong. In order to illustrate my

meaning, let me record here a personal experience. I recently

discussed with an intelligent and well-disposed man the threat of

another war, which in my opinion would seriously endanger the

existence of mankind, and I remarked that only a supranational

organization would offer protection from that danger. Thereupon my

visitor, very calmly and coolly, said to me: "Why are you so deeply

opposed to the disappearance of the human race?"

I am sure that as little as a century ago no one would have so lightly

made a statement of this kind. It is the statement of a man who has

striven in vain to attain an equilibrium within himself and has more

or less lost hope of succeeding. It is the expression of a painful

solitude and isolation from which so many people are suffering in

these days. What is the cause? Is there a way out?

It is easy to raise such questions, but difficult to answer them with

any degree of assurance. I must try, however, as best I can, although

I am very conscious of the fact that our feelings and strivings are

often contradictory and obscure and that they cannot be expressed in

easy and simple formulas.

Man is, at one and the same time, a solitary being and a social being.

As a solitary being, he attempts to protect his own existence and that

of those who are closest to him, to satisfy his personal desires, and

to develop his innate abilities. As a social being, he seeks to gain

the recognition and affection of his fellow human beings, to share in

their pleasures, to comfort them in their sorrows, and to improve

their conditions of life. Only the existence of these varied,

frequently conflicting strivings accounts for the special character of

a man, and their specific combination determines the extent to which

an individual can achieve an inner equilibrium and can contribute to

the well-being of society. It is quite possible that the relative

strength of these two drives is, in the main, fixed by inheritance.

But the personality that finally emerges is largely formed by the

environment in which a man happens to find himself during his

development, by the structure of the society in which he grows up, by

the tradition of that society, and by its appraisal of particular

types of behavior. The abstract concept "society" means to the

individual human being the sum total of his direct and indirect

relations to his contemporaries and to all the people of earlier

generations. The individual is able to think, feel, strive, and work

by himself; but he depends so much upon society–in his physical,

intellectual, and emotional existence–that it is impossible to think

of him, or to understand him, outside the framework of society. It is

"society" which provides man with food, home, the tools of work,

language, the forms of thought, and most of the content of thought;

his life is made possible through the labor and the accomplishments of

many millions past and present who are all hidden behind small word

"society."

It is evident, therefore, that the dependence of the individual upon

society is a fact of nature which cannot be abolished — just as in

the case of ants and bees. However, while the whole life process of

ants and bees is fixed down to the smallest detail by rigid,

hereditary instincts, the social pattern and interrelationships of

human beings are very variable susceptible to change. Memory, the

capacity to make combinations, the gift of oral communication have

made possible developments among human beings which are dictated by

biological necessities. Such developments manifest themselves in

traditions, institutions, and organizations; in literature; in

scientific and engineering accomplishments; in works of art. This

explains how it happens that, in a certain sense, man can influence

his life and that in this process conscious thinking and wanting can

play a part.

Man acquires at birth, through heredity, a biological constitution

which we must consider fixed and unalterable, including the natural

urges which are characteristic of the human species. In addition,

during his lifetime, he acquires a cultural constitution which he

adopts from society through communication and through many other types

of influences. It is this cultural constitution which, with the

passage of time, is subject to change and which determines to a very

large extent the relationship between the individual and society

Modern anthropology has taught us, through comparative investigation

of so-called primitive cultures, that the social behavior of human

beings may differ greatly, depending upon prevailing cultural patterns

and the types of organization which predominate in society. It is on

this that those who are striving to improve the lot of man may ground

their hopes: human beings are not condemned, because of their

biological constitution, to annihilate each other or to be at the

mercy of a cruel, self-inflicted fate.

If we ask ourselves how the structure of society and the cultural

attitude of man should be changed in order to make human life as

satisfying as possible, we should constantly be conscious of the fact

that there are certain conditions which we are unable to modify. As

mentioned before, the biological nature of man is, for all practical

purposes, not subject to change. Furthermore, technological and

demographic developments of the last few centuries have created

conditions which are here to stay. In relatively densely settled

populations with the goods which are indispensable to their continued

existence, an extreme division of labor and a highly productive

apparatus are absolutely necessary. The time — which, looking back,

seems so idyllic — is gone forever when individuals or relatively

small groups could be completely self-sufficient. It is only a slight

exaggeration to say that mankind constitutes even now a planetary

community of production and consumption.

I have now reached the point where I may indicate briefly what to me

constitutes the essence of the crisis of our time. It concerns the

relationship of the individual to society. The individual has become

more conscious than than ever of his dependence upon society. But he

does not dependence as a positive asset, as an organic tie, as a

protective force, but rather as a threat to his natural rights, or

even to his economic existence. Moreover, his position in society is

such that the egotistical drives of his make-up are constantly being

accentuated, while his social drives, which are by nature weaker,

progressively deteriorate. All human beings, whatever their position

in society, are suffering from this process of deterioration.

Unknowingly prisoners of their own egotism, they feel insecure,

lonely, and deprived of the naive, simple, and unsophisticated

enjoyment of life. Man can find meaning in life, short and perilous as

it is, only through devoting himself to society.

The economic anarchy of capitalist society as it exists today is, in

my opinion, the real source of the evil. We see before us a huge

community of producers the members of which are unceasingly striving

to deprive each other of the fruits of their collective labor — not

by force, but on the whole in faithful compliance with legally

established rules. In this respect, it is important to realize that

the means of production — that is to say, the entire productive

capacity that is needed for producing consumer goods as well as

additional capital goods — may legally be, and for the most part are,

the private property of individuals.

For the sake of simplicity, in the discussion that follows I shall

call "workers" all those who do not share in the ownership of the

means of production — although this does not quite correspond to the

customary use of the term. The owner of the means of production is in

a position to purchase the labor power of the worker. By using the

means of production, the worker produces new goods which become the

property of the capitalist. The essential point about this process is

the relation between what the worker produces and what he is paid,

both measured in terms of real value. In so far as the labor contract

is "free," what the worker receives is determined not by the real

value of the goods he produces, but by his minimum needs and by the

capitalists’ requirements for labor power in relation to the number of

workers competing for jobs. It is important to understand that even in

theory the payment of the worker is not determined by the value of his

product.

Private capital tends to become concentrated in few hands, partly

because of competition among the capitalists, and partly because

technological development and the increasing division of labor

encourage the formation of larger units of production at the expense

of the smaller ones. The result of these developments is an oligarchy

of private capital the enormous power of which cannot be effectively

checked even by a democratically organized political society. This is

true since the members of legislative bodies are selected by political

parties, largely financed or otherwise influenced by private

capitalists who, for all practical purposes, separate the electorate

from the legislature. The consequence is that the representatives of

the people do not in fact sufficiently protect the interests of the

underprivileged sections of the population. Moreover, under existing

conditions, private capitalists inevitably control, directly or

indirectly, the main sources of information (press, radio, education).

It is thus extremely difficult, and indeed in most cases quite

impossible, for the individual citizen to come to objective

conclusions and to make intelligent use of his political rights.

The situation prevailing in an economy based on the private ownership

of capital is thus characterized main principles: first, means of

production (capital) are privately owned and the owners dispose of

them as they see fit; second, the labor contract is free. Of course,

there is no such thing as a pure capitalist society in this sense. In

particular, it should be noted that the workers, through long and

bitter political struggles, have succeeded in securing a somewhat

improved form of the "free labor contract" for certain categories of

workers. But taken as a whole, the present-day economy does not differ

much from "pure" capitalism. Production is carried on for profit, not

for use. There is no provision that all those able and willing to work

will always be in a position to find employment; an "army of

unemployed" almost always exists. The worker is constantly in fear of

losing his job. Since unemployed and poorly paid workers do not

provide a profitable market, the production of consumers’ goods is

restricted, and great hardship is the consequence. Technological

progress frequently results in more unemployment rather than in an

easing of the burden of work for all. The profit motive, in

conjunction with competition among capitalists, is responsible for an

instability in the accumulation and utilization of capital which leads

to increasingly severe depressions. Unlimited competition leads to a

huge waste of labor, and to that crippling of the social consciousness

of individuals which I mentioned before.

This crippling of individuals I consider the worst evil of capitalism.

Our whole educational system suffers from this evil. An exaggerated

competitive attitude is inculcated into the student, who is trained to

worship acquisitive success as a preparation for his future career.

I am convinced there is only one way to eliminate these grave evils,

namely through the establishment of a socialist economy, accompanied

by an educational system which would be oriented toward social goals.

In such an economy, the means of production are owned by society

itself and are utilized in a planned fashion. A planned economy, which

adjusts production to the needs of the community, would distribute the

work to be done among all those able to work and would guarantee a

livelihood to every man, woman, and child. The education of the

individual, in addition to promoting his own innate abilities, would

attempt to develop in him a sense of responsibility for his fellow-men

in place of the glorification of power and success in our present

society.

Nevertheless, it is necessary to remember that a planned economy is

not yet socialism. A planned economy as such may be accompanied by the

complete enslavement of the individual. The achievement of socialism

requires the solution of some extremely difficult socio-political

problems: how is it possible, in view of the far-reaching

centralization of political and economic power, to prevent bureaucracy

from becoming all-powerful and overweening? How can the rights of the

individual be protected and therewith a democratic counterweight to

the power of bureaucracy be assured?

Earlier this year, Obama treated Hu to a state dinner, with all the

pomp including a review of the troops.  (Hu came to the USA with a

plane load full of businessmen and investors who toured Taxes and the

West coast looking for investment opportunities)  China repaid his

hospitality with 6 billions in direct investments in the USA and so

far have created 780,000 jobs.

While US investors look for high return in investment in China and

India…the Chinese investors and businessmen look for investments in

areas of growth in the USA…filling the vacuum left by American

corporations at home.

Chinese enterprises already paid nearly 12 billion U.S. dollars in US

taxes…an indication that they are doing very well.

If the USA could relax rules barring China investments in non-

sensitive high-tech industries, I am sure millions more of jobs will

be created by investment from China.

San Francisco, the Naked City

Debra J. Saunders

San Francisco Chronicle

September 14, 2011

SAN FRANCISCO — There is a line between being tolerant and having no standards whatsoever, and
that’s a line that San Francisco passed a long time ago. Public nudity has become the costume de
rigueur in certain corners of the Special City. Twice in the last year, I’ve see groups of nude
adults walking or biking around the Embarcadero – to the delight of some tourists and the
disgust of others.

"Clothing-optional" could be the city’s new motto, along with "age-inappropriate."

In a well-meaning – dare I say, modest? – attempt to address the Special City’s new normal,
Supervisor Scott Wiener has proposed a measure to require that nudists not sit or eat in public
without "clothing or other separate material as a barrier between his or her genitals, buttocks,
or anal region and the public seating." The ordinance language – like its targets – commits the
offense of exposing too much information.

"San Francisco is a liberal and tolerant city, and we pride ourselves on that fact," Wiener said
in a statement. "Yet, while we have a variety of views about public nudity, we can all agree
that when you sit down naked, you should cover the seat, and that you should cover up when you
go into a food establishment."

In other words, people who walk around naked somehow are supposed to exhibit taste and
consideration.

Wiener represents the Castro, where a number of nudists like to congregate and digest. And a
number of constituents don’t like it one bit. "Let me tell you, this is an issue," Wiener told me.

Wiener is especially unhappy that he is "the first politician who has touched this issue in any
respect" – and yet, he believes, the media have slammed him for not going far enough in not
pushing for an all-out ban on public nudity itself.

Why not an all-out ban? The state penal code prohibits a person exposing private parts publicly
"where there are present other persons to be offended or annoyed," but some judge decided that
police can’t decide what’s offensive except for outright lewd acts.

City Hall follows a strict interpretation of state law, so the city prohibits police arrests for
public nudity absent a citizen’s arrest.

Other cities have ordinances that explicitly ban nudity in public, but SFPD public information
officer Albie Esparza explained, "We don’t have that in San Francisco."

Or as former district attorney spokeswoman Debbie Mesloh told the Chronicle in 2004, "Being
naked in San Francisco is not a crime unless the gentleman had lewd conduct or was obstructing
traffic."

Now, I’ve seen worse things in this town than a gaggle of sagging nudists. To wit: public
defecation, panhandlers yelling at passers-by and substance abusers who hate themselves so much
that they want to foul up the whole neighborhood.

And I think the human body is a beautiful thing – but not for everybody, not always and not
everywhere.

Public nudity involves a lack of privacy so blatant that it invades the privacy of others. It is
inappropriate in front of children. It has become a quality-of-life issue – another in-your-face
assault on the city’s (there’s a reason for this language) social fabric.

Sadly, the city is so paralyzed with political correctness that solons can only go after public
nudity when it’s unhygienic.
