Saggy pants?

Nah, striped ties are libertarians. Symbolizes chaos. :)

My grandfather collected silk ties from the 1930's-1940's and sewed them into a quilt backed with newspapers from the period. Some day I hope to have as much time as he used to do that to sandwich them in a glass frame and hang on my wall.

Mr. Henderson this is so old of an issue to focus on.  My goodness, most cities (wouldn't Tulsa have been included?) tried to go there at least 15 or 20 years ago without success.  Whether we hate them or like them, saggy pants are not a trend.  Folks, perhpas it may not seem as long as it's been but the youth have been wearing them this way for over 30 years now.

If we want to seriously regulate fashion, there are a hell of a lot of unsightly miscues and outright messes all over the U.S., and definitely in OK these days that warrant equal attention.  Too many people just don't give a xxxx about how they look.  Just go ANYWHERE in public for examples of what I'm talking about.

Stripes are still somewhat organized.  Random polka dots for Libertarians.
;D

There are still guys wearing cigarette packs wrapped up in their white t-shirt sleeves and wearing pointy black leather shoes too, but it diminishes each year. Sagging has reached a point that those who still hold on to the fad, do it intensely and in comic book style. The younger kids from 10-16 think its ghetto and gang. That spells its doom more than anything. Its funny, but don't let them see you laughing at them.

I have never been a slave to fashion with the exception of the uniform of jeans and a tee shirt and not military short haircuts.  (Except when I was in the Navy, of course.)  If I didn't care about how I looked, I would cut my hair short.  It would be one swipe with a towel to dry and no comb required.

While some people probably don't care about the way they look, many do care but don't meet your standards.

Indeed, saggy pants were popular when I was living in DC in the early 90s. 

Henderson already achieved his goal - he is in the paper/on the news and being talked about.

Libertarians are above ties.  ;D

Nobody has to meet my standards good, bad, or otherwise because I don't buy anybody else's clothes.  The point that I'll make is that there always seems to be so much focus and attention on sagging pants vs. other types of attire.  If the folks who have issues with saggy pants looked around at what else some people are wearing today then they should be similarly outraged.

I should have put "your" in quotes.  I wasn't singling you out.

Wealth is the real definer.


True wealth isn't what what you own, it's what you have. It's not even related to money.
