Re: Topless issue in Moscow, few words more

["Dan Carscallen" <predator75@moscow.com>]

Oh, I think everyone "gets it", but since the ordinance doesn't seem to be getting enforced, why is everyone so up in arms about it?  Are the original car washers even still around, or are they somewhere else laughing at how much trouble they stirred up?  I tend to believe the latter.  Mind you, I'm not in favor of the ordinance either, but I think people could spend their time on bigger issues, so to speak.

 

My wife brought up an interesting point when we were discussing this.  "How come all these people get so up in arms about the 'equal right of women to go topless'?  Why don't they fight to get a handle on child sex offenders/molesters or something!"

 

I'm pro-life and I vote too,

Greetings Visionaires 
-

Judging by some of the postings, it has become painfully clear that 
some of
you simply do not get it.  It is not a matter of nudity (at 
least not to
me).  It is a matter of choice.  To put it more 
distinctly:

I support Roe v. Wade, but I am not pro-abortion.

I am 
against Moscow Ordinance 2002-13, but I do not care to see the streets
of 
Moscow crowded with topless women.

It is a matter at the most fundamental 
level:  freedom to choose.  Don't
tell people how to dress.  
Trust that they will choose to dress
appropriately.

In closing . .

I am pro-choice and I vote,

P.S. - Last time I did not cast a ballot I was too young to 
vote.
