Everyone seems to engage in it on some degree, despite saying they are not really pro-censorship.

Original Comparisons: Why Outdoor Yoga Is Like Distracted Driving
A woman outside my home, doing Tai chi in the playground, when I was a child. Wouldn’t it be easier for her to have done that in her own backyard?
