John – Absolutely not. I spend most of my time in rags with Kleenex boxes on my feet like Howard Hughes. But I’m not the one extrapolating from my consumer and sartorial choices a political philosophy and movement. My definition of ideological conservatism is that it is only a partial philosophy of life, with very little to say about what to wear or what to eat. I don’t believe the personal is necessarily political. In the context of this conversation, what I’m wearing is only relevant if one buys into the assumptions of Rod’s paradigm which, I think it is obvious to everyone, I am not doing. Yes, I know there are objections to be raised about this point, but I’m going to keep my powder dry and leave it there.
