Driving home tonight I heard on the news a couple of towns in Louisianna are considering banning baggy pants. I'm a little old fashion in some ways (well maybe a lot of ways) but this is just another example of government outstepping thier bounds.
To me this is no more than a fashion trend...not that I like it but what right do I have to place judgement on anyone who chooses to do so. I don't have that right and niether does anyone else. If someone wants to come into my house dressed like that I would say no...my house, my rights, my rules.
The year after I graduated HS they dropped the dress code from what I've heard because the dress code was unconstitutional. What is being said about this is that not only is it unconstitutional, it unfairly profiles or targets certain ethnic groups. In Louisianna it is mostly young blacks. But I've seen kids of all races doing this so I can't say that part is totally true.
Hopefully the trend will go away...and likely will as soon as they figure out why no one will hire them. In some industries it would be a hazard.
Anyway they sure look funny walking around town like they have a wad in thier pants and trying to walk in a way that thier pants don't fall down to thier ankles. A 90 year old cripple with a walker might get there faster...LOL. Of course that would be with a belt around his waist and a big belt of JD maybe before he left the house. That's to give the baggy pants person a handicap in the race. I mean fair is fair.
