MANKIND MAKE LAWS AGAINST NATURE

It is not often that I see an article that I think should be read universally. However, there is one now. Our bodies have forever been controlled by others. We have been told by the church for centuries what Nature intended though today's science will tell us otherwise.

Laws both clerical and public have been and continue to be made in an attempt to control people from using their bodies for pleasure as well as procreation without violating another. Ellen Friedrichs (posted on AlterNet) has done her homework and demonstrates just how ridiculous some people and laws can get. Whereas, once young women married as young as 12, now it is against the law to have sex with anyone under the age of 18.

Nudity becomes an issue...it must not be public, though the world is full of Nudist Camps and beaches. In fact, it is not always an issue of nudity...modesty is a better word to inset here. Why mankind continues to have some individuals believe they should have power over all others escapes me when the issue is what one does with one's body. Personally I find tattoos distasteful but I would fight for the right for those who wish them to have them. E-mailing pictures of one's self nude in a venue that should be personal between the sender and the receiver to choose who may see it is now being considered unlawful. When photographs were being developed by someone other then the photographer, one might have considered the appropriateness. Parents taking pictures of their infants who could be seen in entirety as they were being diapered, suddenly became fodder for pedophiles and outlawed. However, what one does in the privacy of their family, digitally, not taken for profit or sold, is rather ridiculous, is it not?

While the zealots do little for the safety and healthy longevity for mankind, they march along trying to be morality police making laws to control law abiding rather than using the resources to limit and punish the people who are truly a menace to society such as rapists, pedophiles, and other sexual deviations that prey on innocents. These, who profess to be trying to stop a problem before it begins are often the people who will do nothing to make insured health care preventative medicine. Instead, treatment begins only when it endangers the life of the individual or others as in mass epidemics.

Will mankind ever get priorities straight?
