: Just a note:

: I wear baseball caps from time to time and it's not to conform so don't
: stereotype. Having that kind of blantantly ignorant statement doesn't
: help your point. Everyone's so g-damn caught up on being an 'individual'
: and all that crap. Look, I don't wear Abercrombie and Fitch...
: But I still consider them to be a manufacterer of good clothing.
: I'd probably wear more if the price were more in my range...You do
: what you do and wear what you wear because you like it..not to be a
: friggon individual. If I like Michael Jordon shoes...I wear them.
: If I like Barbera Streisan lip stick, I'd wear that too!

: Everyone tries so damn hard having stupid parades down streets, and their
: own festivals and all sorts of stupid crap to be 'different' and
: then bitches about it when it's called upon...

: This isn't directed at you..so don't take it personally..I'm just

Well personally I would choose being an individual over following the herd. Never admired cattle that much, except of course, when I'm eating one, medium well, with a baked potatoe (or is it potato?). My motto has always been, " Variety is the spice of life". Have you ever really stopped and looked at how ludicrous human behavior is when it comes to fashion? Some monkey in Paris (just an example) dons certain clothing, and the multitudes follow suit. Monkey see, monkey do. And if you don't at least strive to do this, well, you are somehow less desirable than the masses that must conform to what is currently "in style". I can remember a few years ago when I saw some teenager wearing a pair of baggy pants, with the straddle down around his knees. No comedy routine has ever made me laugh so hard. I mean it was the funniest sight that I have ever witnessed. When you added the backward baseball cap, a clown was born. You see that type of dress around here, and I understand that this was all started by black gangs, and quickly spread into the the teenage culture. I would hate to have to run in that garb! Baseball caps were meant to be worn by baseball players. Or rednecks with the customary Red Man chewing tobacco logo. I have always equated baseball caps with low IQ scores. I feel much more comfortable with an "INDIVIDUAL" as opposed to someone who would have panic attacks by just contemplating straying from the herd. If you are to dress like an individual, please exhibit good taste in doing so. Chothes maketh the Man. Best Regards, Fedora
