Agree with Sierra...
This is not "civil disobediance". There is nothing civil about flashing your smelly, hairy rear end to people who have done nothing to you. It is juvenille and uncouth. It's disobediant becuase it's illegal, but it is not civil.
"Live free or die" is the NH motto. This is often misrepresented by tourists. We freely elect legislators, who make law to represent our wishes. Flashing one's private parts is illegal because the free citizens of NH freely choose it to be so. We are civil folks, and we freely make our own laws. So, the prohibition of this juvenille act reflects our free will.
Prudish? How would you react if I exposed my privates to your wife or sister or mother. Problem? What are you, a prude? Oh, all of a sudden you are concerned with those conservative social norms. So, you have a set of values that you think should be upheld in a civil society. Imagine that.
Mooning the cog obviously will not cause any change. The cog riders and owners will not stop riding or operating the cog because someone mooned them. They do not see that as a legitimate statement from a civilized person. Instead, they see a deranged, juvenille act. Mooning is simply a childish self-indulgant act. "I'm like cool. Like, down with the man!"
Hikers want to park in the cog parking lot in winter. I'm glad they understand that the mooners are only a miniscule, insignificant few of grunts, and don't hold it against the rest of us.
