How devolution kills families

NAIROBI, KENYA: The young may not know that not too long ago, everyone bathed in the river. We were so proud of our bodies that we stripped naked before the entire village, even when there was nothing to write home about our assets.

And then the white man came, ordering us to, henceforth, lock ourselves in tiny rooms, like prisoners, to bathe. Of course, he said it was barbaric to strip nude in public although it was a measure to save missionaries from going crazy after looking at hot ‘native’ women. (The same moralists now have nudist beaches, swimming pools where people swims wearing ‘strings’ and streakers who dart naked onto football pitches...)
