Ooh, ooh, here's a thought. Why not let everyone wear whatever the heck they want? huh? Wow, what an unusual thought. How about we let people DECIDE FOR THEMSELVES? Oh, goodness, that's a bit of a radical idea. I don't know if the country could handle that. Maybe the sky will cave in and eradicate all stupidity from this planet and then we wouldn't have to deal with 'elites' talking out of their backsides.

agree on that
