Jwilburn,

Don't take this personally but:
What makes you happy is of little to no importance. The whole point of living in a democracy is not that the majority gets to decide. Quite the opposite. The point of living in a democracy is that the minority is not suppressed by the majority.

- If that were not the case, there would be no "pro-choice", "gay-rights", "1st Amendment and so called "porn or indecency, etc"

I don't want to see people walking around naked either. But that does not mean that they should not have the right to do so. I don't need the vocal, right wing or left wing for that matter, telling me how I can and can not live.

Case in point. What if New York became mostly extremist muslim and laws were enacted that said all women must wear Burka's..
Of course that would never happen. But what people can, should and should not wear, should be up to the individuals.

Now, if private establishments want to regulate, no shirt, no shoes, etc., fine. Or if there are safety concerns that effect public health, etc. Fine..

But if it's simply a matter of taste, PLEASE, keep your taste's to yourself and allow people to do what ever makes them happy. Including showing their skivvies.
