Arlo is indifferent to publich nudity. He has no objection to laws against
indecent exposure. He admits to having no "sexual proclivities." He is
indifferent to any sex appeal the human body might present. Is this the
intellectual view of how our society ought to be--men and women running
around naked? Or is it a degenerate decline back to the jungle level, like
Pirsig pointed out happened to the hippie movement.

Readers can decide for themselves. :-)
