New ideas, new clothes

Manniken dress with Obama t-shirtWalking through Tower City today I noticed the Obama shirt in the window of a store that specializes in styles for teens. What a welcome change from the design below, seen in March 2007.

Close-up of bomber images on shirtMannekin dress with military-themed t-shirtI know that clothes are a low-threat way to rebel against society, so I'm not taking any of this too seriously...

Still, it's disturbing to see bombers as a design motif, especially while the country is in the midst of an extremely unwise and unpopular war.

But it's only a shirt

I fully expect that Obama will disappoint us in many ways. He's only human and the problems he faces are overwhelming. But nearly every day I see or hear something that offers a hopeful outlook that can be directly connected to his election victory. After eight years of cynical, paranoid politics I consider this a huge improvement. I'm hoping for more substantial changes, but this new attitude alone is worth a lot in my book.

Don't cross that line!
