London
This year's World
Naked Bike Ride was, as usual, part cycling celebration and part nudism party, but also anti-BP and anti-oil rant. Over a thousand people rode in
London; also lots in
San Francisco, where they like that sort of thing.

If an individual, through either his own volition or events over which he had no control, found himself taking up residence in a country undefined by flags or physical borders, he could be assured of one immediate and abiding consequence: He was on his own, and solitude and loneliness would probably be his companions unto the grave.

You can't blame the innocent, they are always guiltless. All you can do is control them or eliminate them. Innocence is a kind of insanity.

They do it for the craic.
