A few of us refuse to let it go.

But our culture, our systems, our educational programs and our economy and the marketplace, all of these require that we not only deny the naturist in us all, we are expected to work against it and can expect to be ridiculed if we don't get on board.

Screw that shit, Mo!

Keep up the good work and if things don't get better I'll meet you in Costa Rica.

Or Belize!
