Impeded by Inhibitions

I was enjoying a nice, uneventful walk with my pet today, when she felt the urge to relieve her bowels. This is the high point of Emma's daily excursion and the low point for me, but I understand that it's necessary. She squatted down just a few inches from a street that runs past a popular shopping mall, and proceeded to crap completely uninhibited. She was naked, mind you, except for a collar that allows me to attach a leash, which in turn allows me to walk her in public.

Humans would be too embarrassed to do what dogs have no problem doing. This is just one of the many inhibitions we've built for ourselves. Cumulatively, they're like prison walls -- and I believe they diminish our overall happiness. Am I suggesting that naked people on Earth 2.0 make poopie wherever they want?I don't know if I'm suggesting that or not. It seems gross, but if it breaks down other inhibitions (like telling your parents that their child-raising merits no higher than a C-plus, or a young lady daring to leave the house without applying lipstick/makeup), then it may be worth it.

Joe Fumo's Advice to God:  Wire future humans to spend more time improving life on the planet and less time behaving appropriately. Males already have a head start, so it shouldn't be a huge learning curve.
