Hats, socks, shirts, pants, shoes, and coats.  What do all these items have in common?  They are all forms of clothing, which can turn a crazy nudist into a fully functioning member of society.  Nowadays, a strict unspoken dress code has been thrust upon the American public.  After outgrowing diapers, the only way anyone can have their ideas heard is by donning at least two articles of clothing.  However, throwing more complexity into the situation, certain staples must be worn.  Without the standard combo of shirts and pants - which absolutely must be on the bottom and shirts on top - or a dress, the individual in question might as well be wearing their birthday suit.  A vast majority of the notable figures in history wore clothes.  Even those who might have scorned the constraints that clothes place upon the body were forced to put on their cloth prisons daily.  Who knows if giants like Lyndon Johnson, John Quincy Adams, Theodore Roosevelt, Henry David Thoreau, and Alexander Graham Bell - all frequent skinny-dippers - would have chosen nudity if it was allowed of them?  Mark Twain once said, "Clothes make the man. Naked people have little or no influence on society." This is a hard truth to handle.  A similar argument could be made in a land where beards designated one's social standing.  In such a world, bare-faced inhabitants would be excluded in any decision making processes.  How can something as frivolous as the hair on one's face change how society views them?   Someone who is destined for greatness may never get their chance due to their insufficient scruff.  Similarly, how can something as insignificant as the shirt on one's back determine whether they get a job, become famous, or can run for office?  For now, these clothing rules must be accepted, and a world where all states of undress are allowed is only a dream.
