    The conformity not seemingly recognised in this quotation is that we all need shoes. Or for the pedants among us (Mike) lets call it footwear. Even Jesus wore sandals.

    NO ! ! !  The quote identifies self evident truth which simplifies any of the simple creature we call the homo sapien - life's scenarios.

    This is what makes America wonderful...individual liberty to be oneself as long as not oppressing or harming another.

    Is Fred trying trying to qualify for the most stupid questions ever asked?  He definitely has my vote.
