Bad news for baggy pants haters...

I'm not sure there's anything sinful about baggy pants, but apparently it disturbed enough folks to get a law passed banning them. However, a Florida judge has deemed that law unconstitutional, so our hard-earned tax dollars will likely pay for this case to climb the courts. 

Baggy Pants Ruled Unconstitutional

My husband never got a law passed, but our son's baggy pants used to drive Dan crazy.  He instituted a belt requirement and occasionally would give a tug on Jeremy's pants to make sure he was in compliance.  On one such occasion, he happened to do so in the middle of a discount store, and ended up "pantsing" the boy in public! While it turned out to be a funny story that we laugh about in our family, I do not recommend this as a means of dealing with baggy pants. However, I do believe Jeremy did a better job of remembering his belt from then on!   

What do you think?  Are baggy pants morally reprehensible, or are the adults who passed this law being legalistic and uptight?
