One doesn't equate with the other, but I really wouldn't care. It's just not my problem, unless I'm tied down with my eyelids taped open. Some 45 years or so ago, when I worked in a bike shop in NYC, we had a guy walk in completely nude to buy a bike. Just another day in the East Village.

Freedom to do something is one thing. I don't think anyone here is advocating laws against shirtlessness; least of all, libertarians like myself. But there is a goode reason WHY we have lost so many of the freedoms we once had, and that is often because of people's inability to behave responsibly and appropriately. I would love to live in a truly libertarian society; but one in which people exercised self-restraint and consideration- for only a society masde up of people who practice such ideals could ever be free ...
I can understand the sentiment that so minor and inconsequential an act should scarcely be cause for a debate on freedom, but I find the reactions and justifications almost startling.
