This issue was triumphantly taken up and dealt with by Louisiana state government in the spring of 2005. There is a law banning saggy pants in Louisiana. It was a major comfort to me to know my legislators had spent so much time and energy on such an important issue as I watched that big storm form in the gulf and then destroy much of New Orleans.
I did note, however, that in the breakdown of civilization following that storm many reverted to showing their underpants temporarily. If only the legislators had planned a way to enforce the properly tailored pants law in the event of a major disaster.... :roll:
