*Your average city ordinance isn'r concerned with mermaids frolicking in the fountain outside government offices or satyrs surveying the shopping mall with lascivious intent.* Some are. attorney General Ashcroft had a clasical statue of "Liberty" covered with a curtain because she had one bare breast. In the city of Bendigo (Victoria, Australia) there's a very nice public fountain. It's quite large and was officially opened in 1880 by a member of the English royal family. It's got four sculptures of women on it, and two have both breasts bared, while the other two have one breast bared. This was in no way considered offensive or disgraceful. So much for Victorians being prudes. At least they didn't get their knickers in a knot over a classical style sculpture with a bare breast! Modern sensibilities, at least for some, seem to be a lot more unreasonable. I have pictures of the statue in my personal photo gallery if anyone cares, by the way (link attached, but only for reference, not for advertising ;-). bonni
