Asshats Gone Wild!
More from the "we don't have anything better to do with our time or your tax dollars department..." The Asshats... er, legislators in VA have just passed a law that levies a $50 fine for people wearing sagging pants that show their underwear. (Note: this story says the law is pending, but according to the evening news, they subsequently passed it.)
My response: get fucked. If the worst thing going on in Virginia (sounds a lot like Vagina, doesn't it?) is people sagging their baggies, then wow, must be a paradise. But hey, lets not waste the valuable time of cops over such trivial shit, okay? I could give a damn whether some skateboarder has his pants fastened around his knees. I do care if he's tagging my apartment building or stealing my car radio. And telling him to pull his pants up isn't going to stop him from doing either of the above.
In fact, think about it. What better way to slow down young felons than to encourage them to droop them drawers? After all, how fast can they run if their belt is wrapped around their knees? But, to the legislature of Virginia -- get the hell out of young Virginians' pants, okay? If the sight of their underwear offends you, it's probably for only one reason -- each and every one of you just wishes you could get away with dressing like that without having your ass or love handles sag farther than your pants.
Sigh. It's as if every generation fails to learn (and forgets to remember) the lessons of the past. I'll bet that every damn one of the people who voted for this law would have been the first to have screamed and bitched if, when they were in high school, someone tried to tell them they had to cut their hair or couldn't wear their (insert controversial band name here) T-shirt.
Then again, maybe they never were rebels. Maybe they were always mindless, stupid sheep. And sometimes, the voters get exactly what they deserve.
But, honestly, folks, these people work for us, not the other way around. And when they pass stupid laws like this, it's our job to call them on the carpet for it, tell them to pull their heads out of their asses and de-elect them. But I'll save my diatribe on the true source of law for another time...
