Although I would have never allow my children to go around with the saggy britches look, it is still a parent'schoice whether or not to let their kids dress that way. I say as long as their behinds are covered (even if it is just by their drawers) that it is not indecent and that George and the rest of the council should mind their own business and work on things that matter. The short of this is that he is trying to cross boundries into personal liberties which labels him an idiot in my book. As far as whether or not most people agree with him or not is hardly an issue either as you cannot use a majority rules stance to infinge on someones freedom of expression.
There is always some fad going on that makes the people who partake of it look stupid, right now one of them is the saggy pants thing. A few years ago we had the punk rock look, parachute pants, and let us never forget the disco era, laws were attempted back in those days too.
