That's the impression I got from Johanna Blakley's TED talk, yes. > We really should be taking this seriously and spreading the word. I'm in favour of taking it seriously. This thread is supposed to be about discussion; so, rather than just asserting we think the answer to the question posed is “no there should be no gov't or corp'n control over clothing style”, I'd like to discuss it. If we want to spread the word, we first need to anticipate the responses of those who think the answer is “yes”. What is their strongest argument so far, i.e. one that will have a chance of swaying people who are not the denizens of this forum? We can't simply make our assertions, we need to have responses ready to those arguments. That's why I'm interested in this thread: it promised discussion. Let's have some, starting with what we consider to be the opposition's best arguments.
