Mike et. al.

Your suggestion that there is a moral envelope being pushed that one day 
might sanction nudity and the next day will, by some process of moral 
degeneration, sanction rape, reveals perhaps more than you might intend about the 
underlying emotions and psychology involved in your thinking.  

The sight of the human body is not an act of violence committed against 
anyone, unless we employ a view of what our bodies mean to each other that is 
rather dark and disturbing.  

Rape is an act of violence committed against another human, and I think it 
rather incredible someone could come to sanction this act based on any logical 
principle involved in the belief that there is nothing morally wrong with the 
simple sight of our bodies.

Do you think nudity to be some sort of act of violence on a continuum of 
violent acts that lists further down the line rape as a worse act of violence?
