excue me? Banning low-slung pants in public because "I'm tired of seeing it"....? What a waste of legislative time and tax-payer money. And I thought Louisiana was a poor state.

Quote:
"I'm sick of seeing it," said Shepherd, a first-term legislator. "The community's outraged. And if parents can't do their job, if parents can't regulate what their children wear, then there should be a law."

I agree with Shepherd. Why don't the parents teach their kids about proper dress and conduct?

By telling them that's not the way you dressed.

"But Dad, all the kids dress this way!"

"And if all the kids jumped off a bridge, would you do that too?"

The classic parental answer.

Personally, I think it's going a bit overboard. But I'm really tired of seeing that. I mean, if I wanted to see it, I'd hire a plumber.
