Is public nudity legal in Seattle?

[Jack of Hearts]

Sometimes. We have traditions that goes back to 1989, and no one seems to mind.
This is the Summer Solstice Parade in Fremont, a neighborhood that's "The Center of the Known Universe".

The trouble with public nudity is that someone else snaps your picture and they own the picture of your nude body to do with as they please.

VERY PREDATORIAL.

This nation is a test tube experiment between those of predatorial inclinations, the symbiots and the plants.

I think public nudity is OK as long as people can't publish your picture.

[Jack of Hearts]

VERY PREDATORIAL[sic]? If you mean predatory, you better look up the word.
You can't exploit public nudists for being nude - DUH!

My point is that a predator will think that your flesh belongs to him.

Yum, yum!

Question: is a person that thinks that the image of your flesh belongs to him a predator of sorts?

So far, thinking isn't yet a crime. 1984 missed the boat...

The thought police would get him just the same. He had committed--would have committed, even if he had never set pen to paper--the essential crime that contained all others in itself. Thoughtcrime, they called it. Thoughtcrime was not a thing that could be concealed forever. You might dodge successfully for a while, even for years, but sooner or later they were bound to get you.
