it's odd that this news came out, about Montana, just as the news arrived which describes the move in Montana against Shariah law. . . banning tight clothes sure sounds like Shariah law! -- j
I scanned it, and it is somewhat chilling - true, no one likes to see people run around naked as a course of action, or sporting the emphasized Camel Toe look, but the guy comes off sort of like a prude.
I mean, sure, it's a well known stylistic statement in Fundie Mormon and Amish society, and quite acceptable in Islamic Countries to try to ban any form of sexuality, but last I heard, Montana was neither a 19th century fundamentalist Mormon state, nor does it have the ambitions of bringing what Ol' Potus would likely call "Islamic Common Sense Decency standards" to one of these United States.
Sorry, but over-prudish-ism went out with HM Queen Victoria... and I would hate to see us go back to it, and the hyper-overcontrol it would bring. Before I read this, I was thinking how cool Montana was, but this kind of makes me wonder...
This sounds like tyranny of the minority. No matter what we wear, I have no doubt there will be a person who thinks it is too revealing, too sexy, too colorful, or just too much. Even though I am an atheist, the more militant ones are attempting to do the same thing and I don’t think a minority can impose their extreme views on the rest of the population. I am certain there are many more important things that legislators should be concentrating on. Time to turf this idiot out of office, as he obviously believes government knows best. He needs to read the constitution.

I now know things about Montana I never knew before. I do not like beer, ordinarily, but I have had some lovely home brew on occasion. Note to self: Auto shops in Montana are extra spiff.
Somehow I feel like this isn't a rampant problem in Montana (I've been to Billings quite a bit for business...).
So, the Yoga pants are out, but allowing anyone to sell their home-brew (up to 3 pints) without a permit is fine... which is why every auto shop in Billings has 1 stall they 'don't use' because at 5:00 the other 3 close and the extra 1 opens and its a bar with home-brew serving for $3 a beer until they have to close at 8 or whatever and people are stumbling away after 3 pints of 13% beer.
