Thanks for the info.

I have a bit of time to kill, so I figured I'd share a few images I've been collecting for a while.
The gas mask is a fascinating garment to me on account of how well it conveys panic, menace and an aura of death. It has the tendency to dehumanize the wearer and its similarity to the skull is apropos and well deserved.
In traditional cultures, the role of the mask is one that subsumes its wearer. Masks are often thought of as alive, or as vessels for powerful spiritual entities. In this sense, I see the gas mask as a post industrial echo of ancient times: the wearer becomes somehow 'other' than human. Even though its purpose is mere survival, it carries the weight of many implications.
I also think that seeing it in different contexts is an excellent example of nonverbal communication via clothing.

No he isn't.
Rand paul is a racist jackass who takes money from white supremacists, opposes the civil rights act and hangs out with other jackasses - People like Alex Jones, for example.

So he wants to end the wars and legalize Marijuana. Big deal, he can get in line. He's not my breed of patriot and he never will be.
