SEATTLE - I'm going to show you pictures of naked people.

If you don't want to see them, just close your eyes.

First, let me explain.

It's become popular and profitable to raise money for worthy causes by selling what's called "benefit calendars."

Down in Virginia, for example, high school students are selling such a calendar to help pay for a new track.

So?

Well, the calendar has pictures of naked men: naked men on motorcycles; naked men in orchards.

The anti-naked contingent in Virginia is aghast, much like the anti-naked folks over in Sequim.

(Okay, close your eyes)

Yes, Sequim is also selling a naked people calendar.

To raise money for an animal shelter there are naked women having tea; naked women cuddling cats.

Like the naked men in Virginia, the naked women in Sequim have incensed the puritanical people in the communities.

They're screaming "pornography" and hiding the calendar from kids.

There's a lot of huffy people puffing over naked pictures.

I happen to like the naked people.

I like the tasteful way they've done their calendars, for while they are naked, they certainly are not nude.

And for those who don't like it?

Keep your eyes closed - just like your mind.
