Editorial
If you have to introduce laws telling your citizens that they are banned from wearing purple, sporting red velvet, or showing their knees, then, frankly, you are in trouble. But again and again, when times get tough or leaders think they should be, governments tell their people what to wear, or more often, what not to wear. “Dare to wear this,” they say, “and we will be down on you like a ton of bricks.”
