Naked Teenagers and Juvenile Delinquents

Oh, the lazy, crazy, days of summer...
Is it time for school to start yet?

Okay, I grew up in a small town and I didn't get to run around naked just because I was a teenager expressing my rights...might have been fun to have grown up in Brattleboro, VA where teenagers have been seen taking walks downtown, skinny-dipping, hula-hooping, bicycle riding ... and now because one person out of a town of 13,000 took offense, are staging a sit-in and yes, you guessed correctly...in the nude.

Quoted from the AOL link, click the title for more, "Vermont has a live-and-let-live tradition, allowing skinny-dipping and nude sunbathing. Brattleboro, the first permanent English settlement in the state in 1724, is home to a community of writers, artists and musicians as well as transplanted entrepreneurs from Boston and New York."

OMG...I almost ended today's post on this note, but then remembered another story, so far out in left field, you gotta read it to believe it. I do not want to live in Jeannette, PA (pop. 10,654)...where the police seem to be extremely bored, arresting a 14 yr old boy for "meowing" at his neighbor, 78-year-old Alexandria Carasia, and charged with misdemeanor harassment.
