RE: Taliban of Moscow

["Tom Hansen" <thansen@moscow.com>]

Mr. Harrell -

I find that the "culture in Mosocow" to be basically Utilitarian in that the
city (over time) adopts public mores and establishes local laws that satisfy
a majority of the people a majority of the time.

I believe that the topless issue will be dealt with fairly and swiftly so
that the local populace may return to more important issues such as "Why
does the sun come out during the day when it is already light?  Why doesn't
it come out at night when it is dark?"

Take care,

Tom Hansen

Mr. Sam Duncan,

First of all, some of them aren't "two little breasts." lol

But that is beside the point.

What about the penis? I would like to ask why we dont allow total
nudity in public? Would that be ok? Why or why not? If you say we
shouldn't allow total nudity, under what guidelines (who's standard)
are you making this determination? Is it because total nudity in
public isn't culturally acceptable? If this is the reason, then what
we are seeing happening regarding the "two little breasts" is the
same thing; it is being determined by the culture in Moscow, saying
that "two little breasts" aren't acceptable to be shown in public.
