Community Standards Vote 2008
Theme question: What are the Community Standards regarding appropriate attire (or lack thereof ) at a public beach?
Motivation: Judge-made laws ought to be avoided. The people must decide.
I am: male □
female □
Age: 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20-25 26-29 30s 40s 50s 60s 70+
I am a resident of Alberta: yes □
no □, specify location: _______________
I undertake to only write my own responses on this vote and not write anything just because someone told me to. I agree □
I disagree □
Assumptions: Community Standards are the set of rules governing attire and/or associated behaviour as you vote them to be and that will apply to your province of residence. These rules will override any current Community Standards. The majority rules. These Community Standards will apply to any public swimming place such as a beach, pool or park: containing a wading pool or any permanent waterway whether natural or man-made. The word ‘beach’ in these question will imply any of the other categories listed above.
What your vote means:
If you vote ‘agree’ or ‘strongly agree’, you are voting for the rule as stated.
If you vote ‘disagree’ or ‘strongly disagree’, you are voting for the negative of the stated rule. For example, if the rule states ‘...is a violation...’ and you vote ‘disagree’ you are voting for the rule as if it stated ‘...is not a violation...’.
If you vote ‘no rule’, you are voting for no change (i.e. that there ought to be no written rule and the current situation, with no written rules and Judges making up the rules as needed, will continue as in the past).
