There are still many die hard Hippies/Yuppies up there big into "Free Love" and clothing optional. Back before I knew Christ I used to go to Quarterly Meetings (Quaker Meeting happening 4 times a year) as part of the North East Quarter that included VT. These were typically held at a certain camp in VT where clothing was optional. There was many a time I got more than I wanted to see of less-than-fit more aged individuals. As a teenagers all the youth would always get together in the summer and go swimming at these meetings without direct adult supervision. The swimming by ourselves was probably not a good idea... add in the liberties of the camp... and it was probably a really bad idea. Mix in a rope swing, and it was a REALLY, REALLY bad idea. Interestingly enough even as teenagers to the best of my knowledge none of the nakedness actually lead to further action besides polluting our minds. I was pretty naive back then so I might have missed things going on... its hard to tell. Even in my recollections the context does not seem sexual. This is by no means saying I am advocating what they're doing in Brattleboro, or what we were allowed to do at Quarterly Meetings. Personally I would like it if the only image of a naked female I had in my mind was of my wife. Because of these Quarterly Meetings, I can not say that. I think there is something lost in this.

I have no interest in see old grandma or grandpa in a "birthday suit"! :lol: I agree with both Jenna and Amanda. :) Frankly, I’d want to stay as far from this town as possible!

Each year, the "trendy" clothes show more and more skin. It's really not such a leap to go from what is "trendy" today to nudity. I think it’s gradually been getting this way.

Well, at least sunblock companies will probably make a lot of money off of their ridiculous behavior. ;) Really, it is just beyond me how anyone ever thought it was a good thing for people to walk around naked anyway.
