Live A Little

A little injury never hurt anybody

I happened to be going through some nudist guidebooks from the early 1980s this week, and looking at some of the pictures it struck me that nudity is only one of the things that has become legally more encroached upon in the past half century. So many things in those photographs, the playgrounds, the old hayrides, the random ropes swinging above the water, have been lost under the sway of increasing regulation and ballooning and burdensome insurance costs. The nudist youth of tomorrow may never know the pleasure of climbing around naked on a pile of truck tires, or getting thrown off a cliff into freezing cold water thirty feet below. We’ve put a lot of time, effort, and money into making ourselves feel safer these past few decades. Has it been worth it? And do we really feel safer than we did You can let me know in the comments. I have to go put on my steel-toed shoes and take out the garbage.
