I think I understand what you are sayi...Hi Nikki;<br /> I think I understand what you are saying, and what Miles is saying. And, I think a uniform does make for the possiblity of both good and bad. In bad, the person sacrifices the mind for the uniform. In the good, the uniform is a stimulant to the mind.<br /> I was a cub scout as a little kid. I remember being so proud, and I remember sayings such as "a good scout does ______" And, I've run into cops, who use their uniform as a cudgel so that anything they do is acceptable - because they are over and above. <br /> I think that no matter the uniform or the peers, the attitude and spirit within the person will dictate their actions. <br /> And, don't you think working clothes are a uniform? I wear jeans, work boots, and a t-shirt every day. My boss wears suit and tie. We'd get some odd looks if he came in jeans and I wore the tie.<br /> Of course, I am a product of my upbringing. My ability to think outside the concept of a uniform is perhaps constrained. <br /> Thanks for commenting. You gave me some things to think on. -randyrandyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16659230610436922709noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8458786710697760224.post-65003687630034231342011-03-18T01:13:04.837-07:002011-03-18T01:13:04.837-07:00Hi Randy,

Why organizations like boy-scouts and similar youth-organizations, marching band, rifle club, rescue service, fire brigade a.s.o. are needing uniforms? I don't mean the working clothes - I mean the clothes they wear at meetings and puplic events. The effects of uniform, dictates and obedience schows the german film "Der Hauptmann von Köpenick".<br />NikkiAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8458786710697760224.post-2726805962977993062011-03-17T16:43:09.082-07:002011-03-17T16:43:09.082-07:00Hi Scottie;

It would seem that there are many who are unconcerned with the truth, as long as they can excercise their power. That's concerning. I hope others do listen, I hope others do see. Fear is a great motivator and there are a lot of smear campaigns creating fear and manipulating the minds of the people. <br />Thanks for the great comment, my friend.<br />randy.randyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16659230610436922709noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8458786710697760224.post-49493547720006141972011-03-17T16:38:14.707-07:002011-03-17T16:38:14.707-07:00Hi all;

If that happens, do what Miles did and I will post your comment myself. Miles said:<br /><br />They were all were wearing uniforms, in those times.<br />Just as today: <br /><br />Uniforms of dumbness. <br /><br />Uniforms of being uninformed. <br /><br />Minds like Uniforms. ......<br />milesrandyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16659230610436922709noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8458786710697760224.post-66730194421402075062011-03-17T16:26:29.547-07:002011-03-17T16:26:29.547-07:00Oh Randy, you show your self a thinker.

I have heard that some people don't even bother to vote, something I think is a must. But just be talking about it we are making a difference. Lets hope more are listening.

I say it in german: Vor 2 Wochen war die Welt unserer konservativ-liberaler Regierung noch in Ordnung. Die Atomkraftwerke und ihre Handhabung galt als 100% sicher - heute, nach der Katastrophe von Japan schalten sie für 3 Monate einige dieser Atomkraftwerke ab - es ist Wahlkampf!<br />Can we trust such politicans?<br />NikkiAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
