One of the best ways to evaluate the merits of a philosophy or approach is to reverse it. So to best do that, we'll have to apply the 'Political Advocacy Through Nudity' to the other side of the fence. For example, in the 'Quagmire' phase of the Iraq war, when the Pentagon could do nothing right, there was absolutely zero chance that Donald Rumsfeld would do one of his press briefings in his underwear to draw attention and sympathy for the war plan. Instead he answered all the (often idiotic) questions posed to him in a logical and thoughtful manner. As far as advocating a cause goes, it's extremely unlikely that we'll see school choice advocates hiding behind a banner that says "We'd rather go naked than attend public schools" while in their birthday suits. Instead they'll debate on the increased effectiveness of choice-based education and the tremendous cost savings. And if the economy continues to be slow to recover, leaving George W. Bush in a tough race for reelection in 2004, all odds are against him appearing naked on the cover of Newsweek with words like "Unemployment", "Tax Cuts", "Recession" and "Osama" written on his body
That site rocks!! I particularly love this line from the article!
Don't get me wrong, I have nothing against people getting naked, but if "Hillary and Pelosi in 2008" campaign decides this is a good idea, I'm outta' here
