>>>In the good old days the State regulated a lot more than it could hope to today. E.g. in Alabama it was made illegal to wear a fake mustache in church. Imagine the howls of free speech/invasive government if you tried to get that passed today. No sane polititian would even try. I'd also observe that there must have been enough objection to fake mustaches at some point that people approved of the law- either that, or they were more tolerant of government "repression" back in the good old days. Perhaps today's stroppy aggrieved populace carries much of the cause of its own unhappiness because it insists on hunting for grievance and sweating the small stuff.

I think I read that in Massachusetts you can't wear pants like that on the street; I think the implication is that one might belong to a gang or something like that.
