Well, the thing is, different cultures regard different parts as 
"private". So, for example, in the US, they talk about making it illegal 
for you to wear your pants so low that your underwear is visible; in Iran 
they talk about women's faces. In the US, there's a tremendous hoo-hah 
when some woman exposes a nipple on TV, in France they have topless women 
on many beaches. And so on. I think it's mostly a religious thing, and I 
really don't grok these religions. But I do know that there's a whole 
bunch of different brands of religion, all offering a different bundle of 
benefits, and all making a different bunch of demands. Yes, I know it's 
all a load of hooey, but there's a whole bunch of people who take this 
stuff seriously. And worse - they want to enforce their own religions 
crazynesses on other folks.
