That comment didn't post right. I was just saying that I'm okay with wearing a dunce cap, because once you let the government single out subgroups, it's hard to say when to stop. As I'm approaching antiquity (25 is ancient on a college campus) I'm ready to join the suppressors. Gah. That comment didn’t post right.

As for which subgroup? Let's say it should be made up of all of those people who support legal restrictions on saggy pants.
