Elizabeth Book

Another “This Is True” gem:

GOTCHA: After a year-long court battle, Elizabeth Book of Daytona Beach, Fla., won a ruling that she was within her rights to go topless in public during a political protest. She immediately announced a demonstration. “I will be as top-free as the statues”– statues she would pose with in her protest of “ordinances and statutes aimed at the American woman’s breasts.” Daytona officials urged caution. “She should probably save her exuberance for a time when all the appeals have ended,” said Assistant City Attorney Greg McDole. But Book dropped top as promised — and was immediately arrested. Not for indecent exposure, but for disorderly conduct since her demonstration “caused a traffic jam (approximately seven vehicles) at the intersection” and “corrupted the public morals and outraged the sense of public decency … in a tourist area.” (Orlando Sentinel, Daytona Beach News-Journal) …But isn’t that what the tourists were there to see?

What I’ve found is that women who demand to go topless tend to be the type of women who have no brains or no body or neither. Elizabeth Book is no exception. You can find her picture on Google Images but I recommend not. *shudder*
