The case against the burqa

 

France has attempted to ban the burqa by prohibiting people from masking their faces in public. It won't work, of course, but nevertheless--good for France! Here's a nation that knows that women are a public benefit, and that forcing them to disguise themselves as blue turnips is a crime against human nature.

This news photo was taken during the first Afghan election in 2004, so the bright little girl is probably old enough now to be required to hide herself from public view. Should such beauty ever be hidden away? Not in France, one hopes, and not in any civilized country. Blue skies! -- Dan Ford
