Now that you mention it, I remember seeing a lot of stuff like that in both Korea and Japan but couldn't pin my finger on what was wrong. That's really odd. Then again, camoflauge gear is really popular in North America, and a lot of people don't realize the implications of that... Wow, that’s trippy.

The Reagan Revolution and the rise of neo-conservatives and fundamentalists is very likely at an end. And with that denouement, we will almost certainly see a shifting of politics leftward. This shift would actually bring the US more to the middle, as we have for decades, since the Red Scare really, been unnaturally right of center. With any luck, the word 'liberal' will no longer be an insult, the mere mention of 'socialism' will no longer send chills down every red-blooded Americans spine, and we can have rational discussions about the redistribution of wealth and the social responsibilities of corporations. Either that or 'the vast right-wing conspiracy' will see to it that McCain wins and the Dems don't get a super-majority of the Senate.
