Wifey B: Just to show the complications are not just on guns and a far more pleasant subject although I'm sure no less controversial.
The subject is Women going topless. Women on a boat topless. Where are they legal? Where not?
There are only three states where going topless is absolutely deemed illegal, although probably could be fought in them. There are 15 with mixed laws. Then 32 where by state law it's legal but then some municipalities say it's not. Many rights laws to be argued although nothing in the constitution about it. Or is there? Is it freedom of speech and expression? What if it's part of one's religion? But here's how complicated it can be. NYC, we established, doesn't like guns. It's perfectly legal for a female to walk the sidewalks of NYC topless. Scout Willis recently did so but although that was legal, she got upset because Instagram wouldn't allow the photo.
What about thong bikinis? There are periodically crusades and at one time a Florida law was proposed specifying the width of the piece. Now, who is going to enforce that? Thong police? Would they walk up to a girl and say, "I need to measure." :lol:
Point is that it's not simply gun people with problems due to all the different laws. I read the other day someone got arrested for cursing a police officer, but turned out it was perfectly legal there.
People think because you have topless in Miami Beach and generally not on the beaches of Fort Lauderdale that there's a difference in laws. No, it's legal in Fort Lauderdale.
It's legal in Canada. There's even a list much like the gun list of places the law has been tested and topless found ok in the US.
For those who need something to look forward to, August 28 is Go Topless Day. If you want to know where events are being held, there is a BoobMap on gotopless.org. Yes, there is actually an organization. Not quite as big as the NRA. Should be bigger. Much better topic. No one's ever been killed by....well, actually they have....I take that back.
Does anyone have any idea when they travel where it's legal to turn right on red?
Back to the founding fathers and mothers who didn't get credit. They left bazillions of laws to the states. Seems we had a war once over some of those issues. But in today's world, the thing most obvious those founders didn't anticipate was all the movement. It would be simple if we'd just stay put, stay home and watch tv as god intended or something. (Ok, old line with space flight where lady said we had no business going into space but should stay home and watch tv as god intended...I couldn't make such stuff up if I tried). Actually that rivals the local DA who appeared on television saying that he had been to see a particular movie 3 times and become more convinced each time it was obscene. Why did he keep going back then?
Hopefully I lightened this up a bit. Actually we do have one state we all live in, the State of Confusion.
