Hi, My comments were a sarcastic and tongue-in-cheek commentary of the discussion that ensued around Dag's photo of his naked son jumping into the pond. I have said before, on this list, that nudity is not offensive to me, and I believe that the hysteria and prudish attitude shown by many Americans - including what is considered by some to be "porn," - is very bizarre to me, considering how readily we accept violence and mayhem as being acceptable. I recently read a report that indicated the number of murders children see on television here in the course of a year - that's pornographic! Need I say more?
