I smell government conspiracies like people smell Folgers first thing in the morning.
Some may also smell of BO (their own or their bedside companion of unknown species).
But getting back to the thesis at hand -
1. What if nudity and sex was legal in public places? It would put the entire porn industry out of work including the paparazzi and the lawyers and a whole big supply chain - hence such activities are illegal.

Easternmost part of state of Massachusetts being one. Furthest drivable road east in Mass being another. Visit to all Ivy League schools (term harkens to a collegiate athletics conference and generally regarded as elite academic institutes of some repute worldwide) is another random bucket list item of which this trip afforded the chance to knock two more of the list. Dartmouth in Hanover, NH and Brown (and its sister institute the RISD - school f
