Jail for Sagging Pants?

I must first say that I don't personally wear sagging pants.  However, I believe that if I wanted to wear sagging pants, I should have the right to. Yes, it looks ignorant to me.
However, this is a "slippery slope" of a situation. If we accept this law, what else is under the radar?
Do we then make laws against wearing "wave caps" a certain way?
Do we then put restrictions on how small or big one's clothes have to be?
(Some could argue that this is yet another way to target young black men for arrest or for police intimidation)
Imagine a law stating that women or men cannot wear shirts or pants more than two sizes too big or one size to small. 
Would we then have "fashion police" measuring people and fining people for wearing a size 14 dress when they are really a size 10?
Ridiculous? Yes, it is. But, I think you get the point.
People should have the "right" to dress how they want to....regardless of how ignorant it looks. It is called personal expression. Once we allow the government to dictate how clothes should fit us, other personal expressions will start to be regulated as well.   
What do you think?

Macbook Heaven



I know I have been virtually absent from the blogging world for a while...but I am back now. I had been having some serious laptop problems. Long story which I would save for another day, another blog perhaps...To sum it up, I would advise people to switch from PCs to MACs....Why? "It just works!" (Actually, that is Apple's slogan for MACs)....
I just purchased my new Macbook on Saturday and I am ALREADY a PERMANENT MAC guy now...
Put simply, the whole operating system is just so much better than PC's Windows versions (especially Vista).
The free programs/applications are SPECTACULAR!
How about I turn on my Macbook and am able to surf the net or use an program/application in less than 5 seconds....Try that on a slow loading PC or PC laptop.
