In general, I can agree with the stance of "it's work, no shorts". I can also understand, however, on the loading dock in the summer, shorts might actually be a better choice than long pants.

But, to me, there is a more important thing to address:

No offense intended, Frank, but your ethereal "hippy freedom type" answers are very much real world substantial points. I hate to say this, but something important enough to be included in almost every Western country's articles of government is more substantial than any other point to be made, with the exception of health and safety. I've yet to hear about anyone willing to die for a specific style of dress. But, millions have died in pursuit of the of the right to do what one chooses.

There is a reason the oath is to "defend the Constitution" and not "defend the government".
