Nude summer youth camps alarm lawmaker

Youth camps in the buff are "good old-fashioned naked fun," a leader of nudists says. A lawmaker from Florida considers them something else.

LAND O'LAKES - For 10 years, young people ages 11 to 18 have gathered in Pasco and other Florida counties to pitch tents, swat volleyballs and sing around campfires.

Typical summer camp, save one important distinction: They do it naked.

U.S. Rep. Mark Foley, one of Washington's leading advocates for missing and exploited kids, doesn't like the idea of a clothes-free camp for teenagers. After reading a story Wednesday in the New York Times, he decided to raise a fuss.

Foley, running for the U.S. Senate seat held by Bob Graham, plans to deliver letters today to Gov. Jeb Bush and Attorney General Charlie Crist, singling out Lake Como nudist resort in Land O'Lakes, which hosted a bare-skinned youth camp that ended last week.

5. Foley: "The Thought Of All Those Naked, Sweaty, Young Adolescents

w/ their firm, tanned, athletic bodies, so toned and lithe, glistening in the hot sun, is too tempting for me...err, I mean, for those who would exploit such nubile youngsters!"

Note: The quote above is satire.

6. Again, this is typical of...

...situational pedophiles.

In order to stay in denial about how disgusting and repugnant they are--many pedophiles
need to constantly feed that denial. Many use religion--to block the truth from themselves
and to convince themselves that they really are good people.

However, it is common for pedophiles to gain positions in organizations that protect children
or further children's causes.

Pedophiles are like sharks. They're constantly moving, moving, moving--almost as if they're running
from themselves. If they can convince themselves that they're helping children, keeping children
safe or doing the Lord's work---this protects them from revolting reality of themselves.

My therapist treats survivors, and he also facilitates support groups for pedophiles--and I've
learned a great deal from him, about these perps.

11. 3 years ago, the Rep himself would have been "40-something"

Was the 40-something 'peeper from a sauna window' ("creepy old guy") they refer to in the article actually his alter-ego?
