Here come the Fascist fashion police to tell us what not to wear. I guess if that kid dressed in Fascist lite uniform ..I.e.khakis and polo shirt nothing would have been said.
FUCK the FASHION POLICE!They'll never be happy until we all look talk act the same.

Well, allow me to introduce myself to you as an advocate of Ornamental Knowledge.You like the mind to be a neat machine, equipped to work efficiently, if narrowly,and with no extra bits or useless parts.I like the mind to be a dustbin of scraps of brilliant fabric, odd gems, worthless but fascinating curiosities, tinsel, quaint bits of carving, and a reasonable amount of healthy dirt. Shake the machine and it goes out of order; shake the dustbin and it adjusts itself beautifully to its new position.

There is, of course, no reason why the new totalitarianisms
should resemble the old. Government by clubs and firing squads,by artificial famine, mass imprisonment and mass deportation, is not merely inhumane (nobody cares much about that nowadays); it is demonstrably inefficient -- and in an age of advanced technology,inefficiency is the sin against the Holy Ghost. A really efficient totalitarian state would be one in which the all-powerful executive of political bosses and their army of managers control a population of slaves who do not have to be coerced, because they love their servitude. To make them love it is the task assigned, in present day totalitarian states, to ministries of propaganda,newspaper editors, and school teachers.... The greatest triumphs of propaganda have been accomplished, not by doing something, but by refraining from doing. Great is truth, but still greater, from a practical point of view, is silence about truth. By simply not mentioning certain subjects...totalitarian propagandists have influenced opinion much more effectively than they could have done by the most eloquent denunciations, the most compelling of logical rebuttals...Aldous Huxley

It is scary when you spend a half hour looking for your own sister in a store..because she looks so much like everyone else.
