How short is too short?

10/15/10  Some people need to live somewhere else, like in Florida or Texas for instance.  Since summer is over, the weather can be very cold at times but people are still wearing very short shorts or very short dresses. It seems like they missed the memo that it's feels like winter outside.  As I watched the Channel 11 News, I thought it said New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg said he will fine women who wear skimpy mini skirts which shows their undergarments or men who are shirtless, a $700 fine but as I was googling it to reassure myself, it said conservative Mayor Luigi Bobbio was the one who wants to ban skimpy clothing in Italy.  Either way, I think it's a good idea in order to prevent rape victims in our community because by wearing "skimpy outfits" it's like invoking men's (rapists') attention.
