Do you only eat in the privacy of your own home? I doubt that, well a baby needs to eat regardless of where a woman is.

Thats why there's breast pumps and bottles, and if you're really set on only feeding in the most natural form, there's privacy bibs.

Of course there are privacy bibs, that can be used in public. But a woman choosing to breast feed her child shouldn't be shamed while a billboard of a woman in lingerie be accepted.

The press here refers to the practice as "sin taxes" which I think is quite apt. It's an excellent illustration of my point that liberalism is just a mutant version of Puritanism.
Like I said earlier I can save a few bucks from shopping at Costco(never shopped anywhere else for liquor)in WA for liquor in high volumes(the OLCC has prices for every liquor in Oregon so it's easy to compare), but as an Oregon resident I don't have to pay sales tax in WA.

I love not having a sales tax.

You do realize that the highest beer excise taxes are in the southern conservative states, right?

Frank refused a plea deal, and died in 2010 at age 93 before a deal could be reached, or a conviction obtained. The government sold off the property, and the main club eventually reopened as a strip club under new ownership.
If you can't tell the difference between seedy business owners getting busted for criminal activity and puritanical liberals closing down strip clubs, you just might be a City-Data conservative.

I believe Hawaii still has full nude and an open bar.
