As I read the Missoulian’s Aug. 5 front-page story, “Nude bike ride draws protests,” I laughed so hard I could have wet my pants.

Except I was practicing for the event and wasn’t wearing any bottoms.

Dear Lord, I never would have guessed there were that many prigs and prudes in Missoula – Missoula! – who could pack the council chambers to protest a little nudity. And to do so in tears, no less.

This world exhibits so many horrible things to weep over – wars, global warming, children dying from hunger, Republicans doing their damnedest to strip away women’s rights – yet a few people in this town actually can shed tears over the thought of a little bare human skin?

Have any one of you thought that you can just not attend the bike ride, and therefore avoid being so all-fired incredibly offended?

Thanks for the laughs. Really.

John Russell, Missoula
