Today’s Star-telegram has an article posted by Gordon Dickson surrounding the “T’s” rule that forbids passengers from riding if their pants are sagging, or in the case of some, their entire buttocks on display. It is the classic case of modern pop culture vs. the values of yesteryear. Every generation has had its fads. The Afro, bellbottoms, extra fluffy bangs and the now feminine short shorts of John Stockton; furthermore, in the 90’s we had the flat top fade haircut. I must admit that we bought our jeans baggy and yes we did sag, but not until vulgarity. This generation troubles many people, me included. For instance, I witnessed a young man not long ago with his pants so low that his belt was fastened in the middle of his thigh! While in no way do I hold to prudish puritanical values, I must side with the Transportation Authority on this issue. I understand the rebellious “buck the system” attitude, but honestly, it looks un-kept and sloppy. When I see the young ones carry themselves in this manner I question the parents, but when I observe the late 20sumtins and the 30ish with their undergarments exposed for the world to see; I question their character.

sagging does not look good! It actually looks stanky and unattractive!
