Naked for a Worthy Cause
This week police have been receiving numerous calls from locals and tourists about a woman whose been seen riding her bicycle nude through the streets of Portland, Oregon. Scantily clad Gennifer Moss, otherwise known as Earth Friend Gen, continues to expose what mother nature has given her in efforts to promote peace among the public in her community, despite what some might think of as being indecent.
Moss declares that "Our bodies are an integral part of ourselves. I was created in God's creation and no part of me is obscene."
Portland police admits Moss has the right as an American citizen to commit this act of free speech, under two conditions: refraining from exposing her genitalia and if so, it must be for the purpose of arousing another person.
For the most part no one has expressed their distaste for Moss insisting she censor herself, except for the recent complaints from construction workers in the area, which can be seen in a news brief from Seattle Pi. These workers say the woman's displays are very distracting and seems to hinder them from doing their jobs.
When looking at this complaint from both perspectives, the workers do have a right to voice their opinion about such an issue, but when you consider the hooting and hollering construction workers normally do when they see a pretty girl walking down the street, clothed usually, should these workers really be complaining? Over the years, not all, but some construction workers have developed the reputation of being disrespectful towards woman while on job. Now that one has come to bare all, suddenly they want to object? If a good looking woman wants to pedal around town in nothing, why should it be a concern of theirs? Maybe these workers should be more focused on their tasks rather than on the events happening outside their workplace. Regardless of what they think, she has not violated any laws and has the right to do as she pleases, as long as she remains under peaceful protest. Overall, after getting over the shock of seeing this woman naked, people need to put aside for a minute her bold exhibit and consider what she is actually trying to promote, which ultimately is peace and concern for the earth's well-being.
In addition Moss is dedicated to living an eco-friendly life by maintaining a healthy diet, wearing organic clothing, and helping to preserve mother nature.
