Neither more nor less

Yes ,Lawrence is still around though his visits to the E.V. are rare events these days.

According to Lawrence ,at least as far as I understood his take on the issue ,it wasn't so much that it was immoral for a boy to go with out a shirt , it was that the girls weren't free ( until recently at least ) to do so too.It was unfair you see.

Though a girl exposing her breasts certainly did impress Lawrence as immoral and harmful to the girls because they were causing the boys ,among other things , to have erections ,i.e. the boys were using the girls and this was disrespectful to the girls and thus harmful to them ...

There is a post on NMNL titled "Political reality" that displays some of Lawrence's writings which might provide a little bit of a basis for understanding Lawrence's take on the relations of men and women ( to him the "boys" and the "girls ")

Somewhere I have some pictures of Lawrence on avenue A with a 175 foot long scroll roled out flat that examines and thoroughly treats of the whole of creation . Unfortunately it is on a crashed hard-drive and may not be accessable .
 

thanks for the explanation. that makes him seem less scary, actually. sometimes he seemed so violently angry that i'd get nervous--i had no idea that the reasons behind his anger were so complex, even noble.
