After a Not In Our Name gathering in October we
were warned that anyone who organizes a protest demonstration will be
fired and anyone who attempts to organize a union will be fired. The
McMurdo Station Manager eventually told us that if we do anything of the
sort, we must not give any impression that the National Science
Foundation supported us in any way: No buildings, vehicles, or
infrastructure could be in any of our photos. When asked about ECW, the
extreme cold weather gear we are issued, he told us we were not
permitted to wear it in any photos we take. So we decided to have this
Naked Demonstration, entirely content free but conveying our strong
feelings about an undisclosed issue. It was pretty chilly that day, and
not just because of the weather.
