The New York Times Style section today reports that sagging jeans may get you jail time in Delcambre, LA and in Mansfield, LA. It really is a source of fascination that these guys (a) think it's attractive, (b) can walk and (c) can keep their pants on, but jail time seems a little stiff.

It brings up an interesting point, though. Can we develop reasonable standards of public behavior? I've been on trains when young men got loud and rowdy, when people cursed loudly, when men -- ok -- had their pants falling off. Isn't there something we can agree on that falls somewhere between anything goes and jail?
