Just who is in charge of American culture?

Is it kids or adults? Is it individuals or groups? The questions assume the sellers of individual rights are just meeting demand, and getting paid for it. And the questions assume we adults can vote with our feet and our pocket books.

The question of the day is droopy pants worn by boys and girls to the chagrin of many communities. But it could be many more things, like home security verses criminal rights to roam in public. It could be school dress codes. It could be homeland security while in a war. It could be school chaperones breaking apart 7th graders grinding at a school dance. But it is the droopy pants issue that should define who is in charge of communities, and America. It is the adults, and not the children.

In this most litigious society, too many are intimidated by lawyers. The stories coming out of Iraq combat and the CIA about the influence of lawyers is intimidating compared to World War Two stories, for example. But here in our communities, let our common sense and leadership run our communities. This often will cost money, but let our lawyers fight their lawyers, with a strategy of bleed them out. In this strategy, insure it is our tax payer money working for us, and not the children-in-charge lawyers being paid out of our pocket. Let the children-in-charge lawyers get paid by their sponsors and not the public. If that doesn’t work, then let’s fight again. If there is an easier way to get back community control to the adult standards, please say so. After all Rome was not built in a day, and it takes a big effort to turn an aircraft carrier around, but one has to start the effort.
