Blog # 4

After reading and watching the video of the sagging pants I must admit I am pretty dissapointed with the US government. There are bigger problems going on in the world and they are worrying about where our patns are when we dress? Cmon, they should be a little more serious than that. Honestly, fining people up to $50 for the way you dress??? What happened with "freedom of expression." I guess the government bends the laws to whichever way they want then? This just makes me wonder...whats next? It seems like everyday there are more and more restrictions upon us here in the US, wouldnt u agree?

I think the government should be focused on things like arresting killers or drug dealers, and sheltering homeless people, and financial issues. These are things that require attention and that in the future will help us out. What function does fining people for sagging pants serve?

I completely disagree with this idea, I couldnt be any more dissapointed. At first I thought it was some kind of joke but then I saw that it was even on the news. After doing research I found several links with this topic and after reading things like "Pull up or Pay up" I couldnt help but realize that our government is turning into one big joke. I really think we the people should make a stand for our rights and fight this dumb law. The problem is that we are letting the governent slide with these laws and we are doing nothing to argue back against them. We cannot stand here and let them impose laws on us whenever they feel like it. Therefore, to stop things like this we must argue our right of freedom of speech/expression. That, or were pretty much facing a future with these pointless laws.
