Ordinance About Pants Worn to Knees!!!!!!!!!!!

I found out yesterday in my local barber shop that my Evanston Township here in Illinois is putting out an ordinance saying you can't wear your pants below your waist. I think the penalty will be a fine of some kind, this has been done in other cities in the United States, Philadelphia, and Lynwood,Illinois for example. So far these ordinances seem to work, but some folks in my barber shop was saying this ordinance is discriminatory. Of course I about went ballistic saying it's pathetic for anybody to defend that position. This ordinance does affect more African American kids than anything. Why? Because our kids are the ones wearing their pants down to their knees. How far should they go? To their calves, ankles, before long they will be wearing just underwear. To me this is indecent exposure, I for one do not want to see someone's underwear especially not a man's. Somebody in the shop did say why don't you go after women for showing cleavage? And I say to that sure, the ordinance should fine women for showing cleavage in public. I for one hope the ordinance passes because these young men need to show some dignity and respect for themselves by wearing your pants correctly and with a belt. And the original premise of wearing your pants down came from jail. In jail it was to show the other men in the prison that you are available. You folks know what I mean by "available"? So to want to fit in by wearing your pants that way shows me either you are ignorant, or have no respect for yourself. I know I am not going to allow any kid or aybody to come to my house wearing pants that show their underwear. NOT GOING TO HAPPEN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! So for the kids that read this wearing your pants past your waist is not being cool. I might be telling other men that you are "available". This is my rant for today. God Bless and Peace to the Creatures. Have a safe Labor Day Weekend!!!!!!!!
