A Civil Rights Issue I Can Totally Get Behind, Or More In Front Of I Guess.

The struggle for equality is never easy my friends. You must remember always that the forces of the status quo are powerful. They do not give up their privilege easily. They will fight you every step of the way, and the first time you challenge them you will most certainly be crushed.

Still, you must fight. You must get off the mat and fight. That is my message to the good people of Pittsfield, Massachusetts:

Voters in a western Massachusetts city have decided not to lose their shirts over at least one ballot question. Pittsfield voters soundly rejected on Tuesday a measure pushing for women to be allowed to walk around town topless.

The nonbinding question, which was only on the ballot in Pittsfield's 3rd Berkshire District, urged that district's state representative to introduce legislation amending the state's nudity definition.

Under the proposal, females of any age would be allowed be unclothed from the waist up in public anywhere males are allowed to be similarly undressed.

To the Pittsfilder's who struggle for justice, I can only say:

I am with you in this fight. Godspeed to you my friends.
