I was reading the book ReWild or Die by Peter Michael Bauer, aka Urban Scout, who is a forager, rewilder, and activist, but he gets bashed for dressing like a Portland hipster. He actually has a great chapter on dressing according to your subculture, and how the comments he gets about the apparent disconnect between his dress and his life are off the mark and irrelevant.

So what subculture are you aspiring to represent with your costume prepared for the impeachment?
Basically, much of Austria - Other than it's involvement in the Holocaust - works for me. Much of America does not. Other than my Mother, the family I do have that speaks to me is all in Austria. It's not as far out there as some think that I would adopt Austrian thinking over American. But I will say that Austria's role in the Holocaust I have issues with and this puts it too mildly. Rob
