Politicians care 'bout us.
Why do you hate children?

Listen here Mr. Saggy-Pants. These whipper-snappers are tearing at the very fabric of this great nation what with their intentional misuse of a garment clearly designed to be worn at the waist. Christ didn't die on the cross or send pilgrims here to live free so they could walk around flaunting boxer shorts. By god! They must be stopped. Along with Gay marrage and abortion. And jews. And fornicators.
"So I tied an onion to belt, which was the style at the time"
When they can't get a job because they dress like that and no sane employer will hire them so they end up on the dole that the government has to pay with tax payer dollars people should care.
Most began on the dole and never have any intention of getting off so they don't care.

The basic idea is to "win" an argument by leading attention away from the argument and to another topic. This sort of "reasoning" has the following form: Topic A is under discussion. Topic B is introduced under the guise of being relevant to topic A (when topic B is actually not relevant to topic A). Topic A is abandoned. This sort of "reasoning" is fallacious because merely changing the topic of discussion hardly counts as an argument against a claim.
Hey Now!!! Don't try to make this an discussion about logic, we where discussing something else!!!

In reply to aircooled:
I can't stand my pants hanging low. On the other hand, I can cast no stones, since I rocked this look in the 70's:
a couple of years ago, i was in a bar shooting pool with my brother and some of his friends.. a bunch of younger black guys came in- every one of them with the pants down to about their knees and what not.. we were talking with them, shooting pool, just generally having a good time..
my brother- who was a little bit inebriated- decided to ask one of them why they wore their pants like that and why they don't buy pants that fit.. the guy responded by asking why we wore pants that didn't sag, to which my brother responded that if he wore baggy pants, he'd get caught in machinery at work and probably be killed.. the black dude just said "we aint got that problem" and they all laughed.
we left it at that and kept on playing pool..

I think my Dad still wears Sansabelt pants from the 1970's. They too were against wearing belts.
I sometimes think that Dockers are the Sansabelt pants of my generation and some future generations will be making jokes about the old guys wearing pleated Dockers.......
I wonder if Senator Siplin has been talking to Philadelphia Mayor Michael Nutter....

Are minors at public schools guaranteed freedom of speech?
But Jay is right, this is a symbolic gesture at best.
