I recently posted about a site (Progressive Depot - "Shop online at the merchants you see here
& site profits go toward progressive causes"). Well the person who runs that site (I think), Adam, posted a comment on my site thanking me for linking to his site.
So I checked out his profile and it turns out he has a blog as well (Now That's Progress). His most recent post ("My London Underground T-Shirt" - 7/22/05) is quite the dilemma.
Here is what he has to say: "... My wife & I have a good friend who lives in London. We visited about two years ago & I was quite taken with the simple yet well-designed logo of the London Underground, aka the subway, aka the Tube. So I bought a T-shirt on my way out of the country that is simply a big Underground logo... But is it bad taste for me to wear it right now? I've been holding off, thinking people might get the impression I was making fun of the terrorist attacks. But maybe it could also be seen as a sign of support for London and their determination to keep riding?..."
Anna and I talked about this and we thought that maybe he should hold off on wearing the t-shirt for a while, as not to stir up an ill-emotion from anyone who would take offense to the shirt.
What do "you's" think?
