78. There is a big downside here
Wed Nov 28, 2012, 04:46 PM

that no one has mentioned. I have no problem with nudity, and I think it is great these people woke up the press with their protest.
Unfortunately, the women who were charged with "indecent exposure and lewd and lavicious behavior" could possibly be looking at being put on a national sex offender registry for ten years, their photos and addresses listed. Basically having their lives ruined and put in personal danger by right wing lunatics and other weirdos. People have actually had this happen to them for taking a wiz in public while drunk.
