I hate change

I hate change. There , I said it. Not the Barack Obama change thing, not the change you get back when you pay for something, but the change that happens that we cannot control.
You know, when you get used to things a certain way, and then it changes, it throws you off.
I've always been like this, as long as I can remember. But the more I think about it, I wonder if I'm getting worse as I get older. Radio Shack changed it's name to the Shack. I didn't even know they were still in business. And people selling things, just making up words for their own benefit. Do they think it makes them clever? I'm sick of it. Everything from candy bars to fast food...they just make up words. It annoys me. I don't think they're clever. I think they should be able to say what they want about their product with words that already exist. If they're smart and truly clever, they could do it.

Wear your politics on your sleeve...


In Pennsylvania, it's now okay for people who are voting to wear their political t-shirts and buttons to the polling place. This article talks about the recent ruling. Apparently, the ACLU has received some complaints. But really, as long as they're not campaigning, or pushing their views on anyone, shouldn't they be allowed to wear whatever they like? Isn't that part of free speech? Is it touchy because your at a polling place...? Don't most people who come to a polling place to vote already have their minds made up? Or would a cool t-shirt make them change their mind?
I know this presidential election has tensions running high, people believe very strongly in their candidates, and I think it's great to be passionate about politics. One great thing about a campaign t-shirt, button or coffee cup is, you can get your opinions known, you can open up a dialog about your political views if you like, or you can just spread the word about what you believe in without getting into the details.
I think voters who show up wearing campaign t-shirts and buttons shouldn't be prevented from voting.
And here's the thing...if you need a campaign button, bumper sticker, yard sign or t-shirt featuring your favorite candidate, you can get yours at my store, www.creativethoughttshirts.com.
