In France this week they are getting ready to ban wearing burkas in public. Isn’t this a Nanny State act by the right. Telling people what they can and can’t wear is the state intruding into an area that it should leave alone.

A test: If a government wanted to ban women wearing pants would we consider it okay. Probably not. It is like Jimmy Carter telling me to turn down my thermostat and wear a sweater. Except he tried to use moral suasion not pass a law.
I’m not a fan of burkas or the ideology that would make women wear them but in my opinion this is a matter of taste and should not be legislated. Leave us alone.

would u put a burka on a plecostumus?
A plecostomus would benefit from a burka. It should be up to the plecostomus to decide not the nanny state.
