Chapter 261: Defend the Right of Citizens to the Naked Dead!
The townspeople and the neighborhoods follow the rules of celestial sunbathing and fruit swimming to each other - never stare at someone else's fruit if they have nothing to do, even if they pass by face to face, that is, they smile and nod to each other, and then both sides immediately turn their heads in opposite directions until they pass by, and it is not known whether someone turns their heads to look at each other's attractive backs afterwards.
In fact, this is also a very Mi national pattern of behavior - be polite in person, and ...... behind your back So whatever......
This is also a tacit understanding of the local middle class.
But since it became Cape Cod Beach National Park, every summer, a group of curious tourists come to see the spectacle, their eyes full of curiosity and other expressions, often making these old residents feel uncomfortable.
If the voyeurism is still within the tolerance limit of the residents of Truro Town (after all, it is voluntary to strip naked, and there is no real loss from being seen, at most it will feel a little unpleasant, but after a long time, it will get used to it, and maybe it will be dark - of course, with Rustberg's rigor, it is natural that he will not write such a boring and gossip-filled speculation in the dossier, Edward guessed based on his own experience in two lives. οΌγ
And there are quite a few of these tourists who come from trendy places like New York State...... ......
The have carved a large area of land in the hidden part of the bush valley to hold the ...... Well, nominally a naturist bath, but it's actually a estrus scene.
The noisy and buzzing 0 and the "male" 1 haunted the time, which is really challenging the bottom line of the townspeople, they are basically Protestants, although they will not burn the, but seeing their paradise being "tarnished", it is unbearable!
Until then, Cape Cod's Fruit Beach was a simple sunbathing spot, but now it is showing signs of evolving into a field mecca.
This certainly pollutes the reputation of classical sunbathing, and it is indeed easy to teach young people and children badly.
Led by the town's esteemed Reverend Shore, a group of residents petitioned Lawrence Hadley, the director of Cape Cod National Park, to "strictly ban fruit carcasses."
The latter are also annoyed by the problems posed by these "hipster" travelers.
Both sides believe that fruit bodies are the root of all evil, and if fruit bodies are banned in Cape Cod National Beach Park, then these faggets who have come to see the excitement and even the field will automatically retreat.
The town can return to its original calm.
Seeing this, the corners of Edward's mouth curled, and in the printed resume of Pastor Shore, he found the familiar note of Juanxiu: "The priest himself is a lover of fruit tanning, and the price is really huge......"
Does this mean that Yale Flower seems to be quite gossipy?
He could even imagine the pastor's distressed face during a sermon, and the old fellow must have stood on the pulpit and shouted like crazy, "Wake up!" Morality! β
As he continued to read the dossier, the doorbell rang.
Put down the file and go down and open the door.
Roseberg followed down the stairs.
Outside the door were two middle-aged men.
One of them greeted Roseberg as he entered, and the two had apparently known each other before.
Roseberg introduced them.
The man who took the lead was Steve Williams, the elected vice chairman of the "Beach Management Committee", with a muscular build, dark brown hair and eyes, and a large square face, which made Edward suspect that he was of Italian descent, especially since his heartfelt smile and fancy praise poured out like no money at the sight of Roseberg made someone wary, a trait he had fully learned from FΓ©riche.
The nature of the male competition made him 120,000 vigilant.
This man is a painter by profession, and he follows the path of postmodernism, in Edward's understanding, he just doesn't know what kind of mess he paints, but he can sell it for money.
Lee Bucksandel is the leader of another residents' group, the Freedom Beach Movement, in the town of Trullo and is a professor of Marxist aesthetics at the University of Massachusetts.
Both are tanned, with only an orange-tinge white around the eye sockets, a feature that only sunbathers possess.
And judging from their titles, except for the eye sockets, even the toe seams are bronzed.
This combination made Edward quite impressed by the popular nature of the United States, and two guys who were completely different in their professions and even for tat, could come together for the freedom of the fruit and set up their own organizations...... This energy and patience are also worthy of admiration and amazement.
But compared to the black-and-white Hitler of Wall Street's convergence, it is nothing in comparison.
"Miss Ruthberg, it's been a long time since I've seen you, you're still so beautiful, no, no, no, I should say you're even more beautiful than before, your looks and intelligence are simply God's eccentricity......" Steve Williams never stopped talking from the moment he entered the door.
This made Edward very worried, there was no shortage of suitors around Rustberg, but most of them were nerds and pedants, and there were normal people, but compared to Steve in front of him, I was afraid that Felicher might not have a chance of winning.
"Thanks, Steve, you're still so handsome...... Ed, this is Steve, probably the most likable guy in Truro......" Rustberg said with a grin.
"Oops...... Ed?! He was keenly aware of Ruthberg's use of a nickname, and that the guy named Ed was clearly hostile to him as well.
In an instant, he suddenly understood something......
It is true that Ruthberg came to handle the case, but it is also logical to pull her boyfriend to enjoy Fruit Beach by the way, although the man looks younger, but doesn't this also show the charm of Yale Flower?
Thinking of this, he was a little frustrated, "Hello, Ed......"
"Hello, Steve"
The two sides shook hands with each other and fought in secret.
Edward obviously suffers in this regard, after all, he is a scholar who plays tricks, and he is not weak at all, but his grip strength is still a little worse than that of a macho man like Steve.
He quietly endured the pain, trying to recall Chris's phone number in his head, damn, find a chance for the big black guy to prop himself up, and pinch off the claws of this Italian slut......
After a brief greeting between the two sides, they got to the point.
Roseberg stood by and listened to Edward talk with a smile on his face, his expression full of pride and pride, this student was really different, he might not be able to do better at his age, and this guy was completely subservient to his charm......
"First of all, we must affirm that people have the right to a fruitful body, which is granted by the Constitution." Edward was very firm.
But the next sentence immediately made Lustberg shake her head
"Especially the Second Amendment," Edward said with a serious expression.
She knew that this guy was telling a bad joke again, and the Second Amendment was "the right of the people to possess and bear arms......
Of course, it is not too much to defend the fruit.
The problem at now is that Steve and Lee intend to file a lawsuit directly in the Federal Circuit, arguing that this "traditional" "isolated beach naturism" is fully in line with the spirit of the United States, and anyone who tries to ban it is a potential traitor.
This grievance is obviously not small.
Edward was a little unimpressed, "I can understand your feelings, you two, and I also recognize that the right to be naked on the public beach is granted to every citizen by the Constitution. β
"But," Edward scratched his head, "I don't think it's appropriate to go to the Federal Circuit for this matter right now." After all, the Circuit Court is busy...... Although this case was fought between you and the Federation, it cannot be accepted locally. β
"And, Ruth and I have gone through a lot of legal literature before, and to our surprise, the law of the United States is actually a void in this regard!"
"Ed, it's not us who are excessive, it's that Laurence Hadley bastard, and Pastor Shore!" Steve was a little angry.
"Actually, this case can be compared to this" Edward showed good professionalism at the moment, speaking in a tone that was not impatient or impatient, with the inherent rationality and self-confidence of a professional.
"It's like an adult watching pornography in a closed-door movie theater."
"There are no doors on the beach, but an isolated beach is similar to a movie theater and can be considered a private and personal space."
"The government has the right to regulate its external situation, which is actually one of its obligations, such as the lack of parking spaces, unauthorized entry into private homes and gardens, and the destruction of sand dunes, all of which are within the government's jurisdiction. But the government, neither the federal nor the state, has the power to prohibit voluntary fruit sunbathing on isolated beaches! β
"Yes," Lee Bucksandel continued, and he could sense that something was not right between Steve and Edward.
So he came out to play a round: "In fact, since the previous year, Pastor Shore had been asking Director Lawrence Hadley to order a ban on all forms of fruit in Cape Cod National Park. We made our opposition clear and formed our own organization to present our views to Director Lawrence. β
"Hmm," Edward nodded, theoretically the director of the national park was indeed qualified to place a ban on nudity.
"Director Lawrence didn't say he would ban it, but we learned that in just three days, he would officially order it. When the time comes, our traditions will disappear and the power of government will further invade personal space. β
On the surface, this is a struggle between the Fruit Bodies and the Forbidden Fruit Sects, but in the United States, things are never as simple as they seem.
Both sides have a lot behind them.
The Fruit Sect found the ACLU as a tiger skin, and the leader of the Forbidden Fruit Sect was Pastor Shore, and behind it was naturally the conservative forces representing the church.
Over the years, the conservative forces have gradually faded, but they always have to jump out at every turn to show their presence, they can't participate in big things, but let people wear swimsuits instead of swaying around, it is very much to their appetite, things are not big but not small, they can let go of it, and they don't have to worry about attracting any particularly big revenge, and it is unlikely to cause huge social upheaval.
"Did Mr. Lawrence Hadley really decide to do this?" Ruthberg interjected
"Yes! We can be sure of that! The two fruit lovers replied in unison.
"In that case, it seems that war is really inevitable."
"Look." Steve pulled a document out of his pocket, crumpled.
Edward took it and found that it was a draft, and that it had not yet been issued by Director Lawrence Hadley, but was much larger, issued by the Federal Park Service, and that it read:
"As of July 4, 1969, it is forbidden to show one's body in public, including fruit swimming in public. The so-called public fruiting body refers to the conscious failure to use completely opaque clothing in public, such as the outer SZ organ, the inner SZ organ, the Y hair part, the G hilum department, or the part of the female breast F below the upper edge of the R halo. This does not apply to children under 10 years of age. β
"Isn't this TMD cheap copper fetish?" Although he knew that the last sentence was actually not so filthy, Edward couldn't help but complain in his heart.
As a time-traveler, he knows too much about the copper smelting customs of the Western world.
In fact, in his previous life, with the strong rise of a large country in East Asia, the West's discourse power was sidelined, and the copper smelting scandal broke out on a large scale.
At that time, it dawned on many people, true or false, that this copper smelting could last for decades in time, geographically throughout the Western world, and professionally, the more respected, the more perverted, including but not limited to philanthropy (various orphanages), the news media (BBC), medical institutions, and famous religious circles......
But Lee Bucksandel didn't know what was going on in the guy's mind, and thought he was shocked by the Federal Park Service's boldness.
He added: "It is now mandatory to impose a fine of $25 for the first time for anyone who violates this rule. β
"Doesn't that seem like much?" Edward muttered
"Yes. The federal maximum is $500 and can be punished by six months in prison. Steve was also anxious, "God, I can't imagine that really, I could go to prison for half a year if I walked around naked!" β
"Yes," Lee Bucksandel was also very annoyed, "this is not even as good as the Eastern camp!" The fact that Russians like to bask in the sun is known to the whole world! I've traveled to the Black Sea before, the beaches are all white flowers, and no one has ever taken care of them! But it is simply unbearable to imagine that the United States would introduce such a rigid law in New England! β
"Uh" Edward didn't expect this matter to be on the line to the ideological battle, and he didn't react for a while.
But then I remembered that the other party's words were really right, in his last life, he had seen the fruit photos of Aunt Mo when he was young on the Internet, judging from the photos, Aunt Mo, at that time, the girl who should have been called Mo was obviously sunbathing and other activities, although there was still a little shyness on her face, but she did have an unobstructed view in front of the camera, and she saw everything that should be exposed, and what should not be exposed.
The only regret is the black and white photo, and the specific coat color cannot be seen......
If this was the case in East Germany, then Russia would not be too bad.
