WorldNetDaily: Human beings: "Plague species"

This is the most bizarre thing I have ever heard of. Eight volunteers are actually appearing in an exhibit in the zoo, clad in nothing but imitation fig leaves. The notion of the exhibit is that human beings are a "plague species" that doesn't know its "place in the ecosystem."

I don't know what is more absurd: that anyone on earth would be caught dead in such a display (much less volunteering for it!), or that an institution like the London Zoo would be party to such a travesty. And after all: if that's how the London Zoo feels about mankind, then why aren't the zoo's curators participating? Then again, such absurdity is always fine with liberals--so long as someone else is being absurd and letting other people have fun at his expense.

This comment, taken from an application by one of the volunteers, is instructive:

I actually think the fig leaves will be enough to cover us up[;] it's no worse than a swimming pool.

The unstated conclusion, that "it's not so bad," assumes that what passes for attire in most public swimming pools is up to God's standards. Indeed it is not. The only difference between typical swimwear and underwear today is that the former is waterproof. For a hundred years the standards of dress have continued to decline--and now behold the endpoint. Eight people volunteer to be treated no better than animals, and as it turns out, no one who bathes in a public swimming pool looks any better than they. What, then, is the difference between the behavior of the two groups?

Bear this in mind when you ask yourself: What kind of fashion statement do you want to make? Indeed, tell me what sort of fashion statement any man or woman makes, and I will tell you that person's opinion of himself (or herself). But don't just take my word for it. Ask Rebecca Hegelin, who addressed this issue a scant (pardon the pun) two days ago.
