Mexican Town Bans Women in Miniskirts and Fines Crossdressers

The security chief of a Mexican border town has decided to ban women from wearing miniskirts, and to impose fines on men who parade the streets of his city in female attire.

Javier Agudelo is a retired general and now the top security officer in Ciudad Acuña, a city of 140,000 residents across the Texas border. He told local newspapers that miniskirts and cross dressing had to be banned in town in order to preserve "morality" and "decency," but also said that women who wear short skirts, or men who dress as women, can use their apparel to "commit several sorts of crimes."

According to Agudelo women can use miniskirts and "provactive" attire to engage in prostitution, to provoke fights, or to lure kidnapping victims. Men who dress like women can hamper police investigations – by allegedly disguising their identity — and use public bathrooms intended for the opposite sex. There are clearly no statistics that prove this, but that has not stopped the push for it.

My question is has the country done anything for its citizens? The Mexican governemnt and the police force is corrupt anyway. Wonder if the security is getting bribes from others to take people's attention from more important issues.

Scary,  our Republic and the Mexican Ferderal Republic are for the most part similar.  Level of corruption within the Mexican Republic is what separates our two systems most. The republic ideal that each individual persons rights are secured despite popular sentiment, meaning that 99% of the people cannot take away the rights of 1% just because they don't like them, has been perverted into a democracy in Mexico where 51% can tell the other 48%  to go pound salt over an issue and corruption allows for local leaders to do as they please with out reguard for their  countries constitution.    Any time you hear the phrase "For the Public Good" out of a 'leader'   watch out..  someones rights are getting stomped on.    The United States stands at the edge of this very slippery slope.   Go ask people you meet what kind of government the US has, most will wrongly tell you a democracy.   Then remember  individuals have no rights in democracies, only majorities.   

shuts up and sits in the corner..

stands back up...  Ironicaly the religious feedoms sought that brought people to the colonies in America and thusly  brought about the formation of this nation and type of government have come full circle. These religious institutions now seek to subjugate all that do not fit into the mold of their ideology/theology.  They have become what they sought to escape from so long ago. 

  Over the decades, even centuries, the US  has lost sight of its stature as a guiding light, a bastion of freedom, which was that base principle that was fought so hard for.   We opened Pandora's box when  the government was allowed to grant us rights, rights that we allready had and so stated by the founders. If one allows government to grant them rights, government can also take them away.  Life, Liberty, and the pursuite of Happines.  I see no grey area in that, politics now can see ten thousand shades of grey.   

This thread I realize is about Mexico but I can see how it could easily be about the US in time if democracy and corruption is allowed to run ruin over any people.
