July 4: LETTERS


 AS FOR women who bare their breasts irreverently (on a shopping promenade as opposed to a beach), they are just like kids with new toys. Look what I have, everybody. Gee, you would think they would have gotten over the novelty of men's reaction to them when they went through puberty. Regardless, the fad will wear off eventually. When we finally stop paying undue attention, they will stop showing off. The pendulum was to the right for a very long time. Now that it has been set free we must abide as it overshoots centre and travels its course temporarily on the lunatic side of left. Toplessness will swing back to where it belongs, for men and women: relaxing at the beach or maybe the occasional sun-warmed green space in the park during lunch.

 OKAY, OKAY. Enough already with the breast controversy. Ever since the Ontario Provincial Court struck down the conviction of Gwen Jacob, the media have been filled with breasts this, breasts that, blah, blah, blah. Not to mention some of the narrow-minded letters to the editor I have read. The bottom line is you can't force someone to keep her top on just because she is female, regardless of your attitude or moral opinion. Get used to it and get over it.
