A Montgomery County Circuit Court judge in Maryland ruled that "mooning, while distasteful, is not illegal." This is very scary, in my opinion, because the fact is we are seeing too much indecently exposed skin these days from all age groups in rather normal, everyday dress, and we don't need a dumb-ass exposing his butt to convey any opinion or thought process. But that's only me.

Second part of the poll/quiz: Read the article and then read the "additional note".Additional note: It was quoted in the article that the mooner threatened to "blow up my building", said the victim, with no other details. Why was this mentioned? Was race an issue? Was the guy a dumb-ass, a total jerk, a weird-do, a fruitcake, a psycho, what? This statement is like half a story. The audience is now left hangin' with no conclusion offered to this statement. Aha -- Ahhh-h-h!!!
Q>>Did you notice the quote in the article? Did it irritate you or did you not think twice about it?
That concludes the quiz...
Thank you and have a nice day!!!

Why should anybody have to tolerate public nudity. If the mooner turned his/her hairy butt around, they would call that "flashing", which is illegal. So, I see it as the judge was 180 degrees off with his decision.
