Here is the situation: A controversial nude sculpture was removed from a roundabout sculpture park in Loveland,Colorado. Residents were concerned about children viewing the sculpture that depicts two women and one man. Artist Kristin Kokkin wanted the sculpture to be "kind of a wheel so that the energy is flowing from all three of them and it really and truly is how humanity relies on support of people." According to Jim Baldwin, of the Loveland Visual Arts Commission, there has been controversy about every nude that has beenpart of the collection. A poll on cbs4denver.com revealed that 71% of respondentsfelt the statue should not be removed.The 1,200 lb. bronze was moved in a flatbeadtruck across town at a cost of about $8,000.

What is with our culture!!! If you watch the video there is a young mother who says: "We drive by here every day and I do not want my children to see the nude statue..." Yet I'm sure this mom lets her kids watch "sponge Bob square pants" where cartoon violence, junior high flatulence, and other silliness abounds. Parents allow kids to see such cartoon antics but simple nudity should be banned... I don't get it!
One thing we've noticed at Living Waters Spa is the mental health that simple nudity brings. Most of us in America have been raised by parents like that mom. All the while the media bombards us with sexuality via provocative dress and actions. Normal human bodies are not seen naked. Consequently as we age we develop a negative mental image of our bodies and are frequently ashamed of them. As people come to Living Waters Spa and experience the "joys of skinny-dipping" they at once realize that other people are just like them and their self image is restored.
