Editor,
Responding to the letter "Nude photos degrading, regardless of intent" in the July 6-12 Daily Lobo, I love living naked at home and mostly naked elsewhere, when I am warm enough. My naked healthy body is my best and favorite suit.
Humans are the only animals on Earth ashamed of their naked bodies - why?
Many Americans are tragically more at home with their cars, computers, mansions, guns, luxury toys and nuclear bombs than they are with their own naked bodies.
Living naked keeps me devoted every day to eating only natural plant foods and exercising vigorously. Fancy clothes often hide body fat, abuse and neglect. I work to be lean, muscular, healthy and well-tanned.
Living naked helps me feel whole all the time - sexually and spiritually, humbly and with confidence. Living naked helps me live peaceably - no place to hide a weapon on a naked body. Living naked helps me to be honest and open about who I am, having both body and soul. Living naked helps me to live simply - free from material crap I do not need.

I hate to be imprisoned on warm, gorgeous days in sweaty clothes. I love the sunshine and breeze on my skin. When it is cold, I appreciate clothes. I dress according to the weather.
We can make our bodies and our clothes works of art without spending fortunes on vitamins, gyms and designer labels.
Rape, racism, war, paying taxes for war, revenge, greed, boxing and grudges are obscene. Naked bodies making love are not obscene. But because of the laws and the sexually insane society we live in, you can only be naked and make love where you do not risk getting arrested.
