It is also related to the metaphor of 'free from deceit'. I believe the naked protesters are accurate on the first count. They are truly innocent of the realities of the world. Innocent in the most childish naive ways. The naked protesters are probably not free from deceit. They don't understand the extent to which their innocence clouds their judgment. They are filled with self-deceit. Andrea, I tried to send an email to the bookworm@ address and it came back. I believe the term ‘naked’ and the image both relate to the metaphor of ‘innocence’.

In the words of Roger Kimball, "outrage by the yard." If you spout the right politics, any gimmick, any mediocrity, any silly flipping thing is defined as art. Naked people on a glacier decries global warming. Naked people on a city street decries the dehumanization of modern urban life. Naked people crammed into a McDonalds restaurant decries the commodification and debasement of food, etc. It’s a scam.

The Mother would then have to be party politics, that which can lead to the protection of humanity from violence and other things. The nakedness is a means to an end, I would agree. Well, okay.
