Citizens in Black

One would expect in a downtrodden time for the atmosphere around us to be bleak, dark, drab.  But if you look around, all of the young people are shrouded in neon.  It seems color is the new black.  I’m not sure that the polarization of dress-wear between the youths and those of us trying to buy a house, keep jobs, and manage bank accounts will solve our economy.  But it is encouraging to see a bright reminder of times when we took ourselves less seriously.  Perhaps that is where a lot of our angst stems from.  We are all about work and stability, less about fun and frivolity.  I say we lose the somber attire and go for something that makes us feel fun and free.  However, black is quite slimming so maybe just a hot pink accessory.
