There's no more debating in your underwear in the open-minded town of Boulder City, Colorado.

The days when a citizen could address the Boulder City Council wearing only underwear may be over. The council will vote on new decorum rules in September, seven months after a resident stepped up to a microphone in his boxers.The rules were already under review, but that incident led to a proposed ban on undressing during meetings. It's not the first time the university town has wrestled with how much clothing is enough. In April, the city barred teens and adults from showing their genitals in public. That could put the wraps on two annual city traditions that involve running or cycling naked.

But the city council inexplicably declined to outlaw topless females, despite several community complaints about a woman who gardens in only a thong and gloves... and a healthy amount of sunscreen, we hope.

Could it be that the pioneer spirit of rugged individualism and personal freedom is given free reign in Boulder City, or do they just not give a hoot for normal rules on "public decency" that the rest of the country finds important? Maybe it's the altitude, affecting their attitude... or just the values of a young, liberal population? - Rufus Leakin
