And the Europeans have been laughing their asses off at us for that,
for centuries -- ever since they got RID of their Puritans and shipped
those repressive losers over here. We've been infested by carry-overs
of their wacky excuse for "mores" ever since. Nude beaches are common-
place in Europe, and nudity is no big deal there -- even on TV. I've been
to Europe 11 times, and LOVE it over there. The place is a breath of
fresh air, and their passenger rail system makes OUR land transportation
look like the Dark Ages!
POI -- Public nudity is totally legal in Ontario, Canada -- and in the
State of Vermont, here in the USA! An amazng percentage of people
don't know that!

In Ontario and Vermont, those can be realities. (Probably also in
some of Europe.)

Yep. A great equalizer!
