On patrol with Iran’s fashion police

Many conservatives have applauded the drive, but moderates have publicly questioned whether Iran would be better off tackling poverty and crime rather than slack dressing.
Just before the new crackdown started, popular television host Farzad Hasani grilled Tehran’s police chief Ahmad Reza Radan about the drive on his talk show, accusing the police of “not differentiating between people and thugs.”
An old woman in a black chador in Vanak Qquare echoed the sentiment.
“Our youth have no peace of mind. They are afraid to go out, they are afraid that if they go out they will be taken to the police. Aren’t they saying that there is freedom?”

Ahh, you just have to laff. When a society is more worried about the length of a headscarf, that’s good for us. They impoverish themselves when they bar more than half their population from productive pursuits and spend some fraction of the rest worrying about trivial matters. That’s great. We should take a lesson. We want every person being productive. The easiest way is to give everyone the freedom to do as they see fit bounded only by their relationship with their neighbors. My rights and your rights constitute the boundary of our respective freedoms. Live and let live. The golden rule. And, in doing this, people will drive themselves to THEIR goals harder than anyone else could possibly herd them. The secret of the American prosperity is liberty. One only becomes rich by satisfying the needs and wants of your fellow man. What a great paradigm!
