"Oh, You Kid!!!"

It has come to my attention that there is a movement afoot in some parts of this great nation of ours to legislate how a person wears their britches. I kid you not. And kids are the target of this legislation. I’m sure everyone is familiar with the droopy drawers trend. It has even reached out here in the boonies, so I know the rest of the nation has seen it for a while now. Maybe something is wrong with me, wait a minute, strike that, I know there is something wrong with me. Anyways, I just don’t see what all the fuss is about. In fact, whenever I see someone sporting that fashion, I can’t help but grin. I’m glad I’m not a young person now, because I can see myself getting in all kinds of trouble. There is no way I would be able to resist giving a well-timed tug, and watchin those britches collect around the ankles of one of my peers dumb enough to go out in public like that. However, I cannot for the life of me see how this trend is any skin offa my ass. Every generation has its own shocking new trend that spells the downfall of civilization, and yet we’re all still here somehow. Government, both federal and local needs to get it’s friggin nose outta folks private lives. It is glaringly obvious that they have been neglecting the work they were originally intended to do. Just a few suggestions, in case they have lost their list: safe and adequate drinking water, well maintained roads and highways, bridges that are safe for the traffic loads they now carry, facilities for health care even in rural communities, helping industry to find places to locate that benefit them and the local workforce. You know the little piddlin stuff that doesn’t matter near as much as someone’s baggy britches. In an effort to be fair to those who see this particular fashion trend as an example of the deterioration of our society, I will now present before and after photos of some dangerously wild youth of a another generation.


Here is the young lady memorializing her appearance before stepping over the line to become an example of the out-of-control youth of her generation:
























And now, our subject (on the far left, after the transformation), and her posse, showing total disrespect for societal norms of the time, and for their own appearance:





Hair (a woman's crowning glory) bobbed, calves exposed, bustles and corsets gone!

Mercy sakes alive, there oughta be a law.....!!!
