It's a lot easier to pass laws than to enrocfe them, and society feels that naked people cause problems.  Much easier to arrest naked people than to find and prosecute every other potential violation related to what naked people do.  Too expensive and difficult to prosecute  lewdness', for instance, but easy to prove and prosecute nudity!  Hell, they can't even DEFINE lewdness!.I'd be interested in the source of that figure of 40 million Americans who  don't like to wear clothes unnecessarily'; sounds questionable and the wording is even more-so.  We've seen some  surveys' that equate having skinny-dipped once in one's youth with being either a  nudist' or in support of nude recreation, and that's bogus.  I doubt if that number is anywhere near 1%, let alone 13%..So, nobody's going to throw out all clothing laws anytime soon (even less likely with SF's example) and they're not going to enrocfe all laws; have a Plan B handy?

Thank you Steve and Angie.  I was beginning to think I was the only one in our coiutnmmy with this opinion.  I saw opinions supporting the protests against the ban and calls to action (complete with pictures of men wearing cock rings) but have not seen much on the fact that aligning ourselves with this behavior damages our cause and reputation. I see the hand of the media in this push to associate  Nudists  with this behavior.  I guess it sells their articles and associated advertising.  It would seem that if Supervisor Wiener had approached a group of [real] Nudists in the coiutnmmy and asked for help curbing this trend toward indecency he would have found that he had a true force behind him.  Just like the force that maintains and monitors the behavior at many nude beaches.
