Virginia's legislators must be running out of intelligent laws to enact and important problems to solve, because in their attempts to pad their hours in session, they felt the need to pass this nonsense.

We are just expressing ourselves in a way that doesn't harm anyone, so why prevent it? Next they will be telling us exactly what we can wear and do. How are baggy pants worse than a halter top or hip huggers? Style is a way of self expression that cannot be taken away. They're trying to make us feel and look like robots and were supposed to have individuality and their taking that away.
Posted by: Rachel at February 11, 2005 12:23 PMEh...The Legislature is there to legislate. Anyhow, regulations like these aren't passed to waste tax dollars, regulations like these are to help small towns generate revenue--like speeding tickets.
"The state's House of Delegates passed a bill Tuesday authorizing a $50 fine for anyone who displays his or her underpants in a ``lewd or indecent manner."
It isn't about pants, it's about underpants. And while I do agree with Rachel, that clothes are a part of self-expression, I also feel if one needs to display one's underpants to the public in order to express oneself--then you're obviously not very good at expressing yourself to begin with.

Posted by: Ma Hoyt at February 11, 2005 08:08 PMThis an abomination to American's freedom. If this flys then years from now they will be telling us when to go to bed, when to wakeup, when to eat. We should act now before this goes tooo far.
This an abomination to the American people's freedom. If this flys then years from now they will be telling us when to go to bed, when to wakeup, when to eat. We should act now before this goes tooo far. IF AMERICA IS FREE THEN WHY CANT WE WEAR OUR UNDERWEAR THE WAY WE WANT TO.
