When you have "hordes of kids" (or adults, for that matter) all doing the same thing,to the command of a beat and the cue of the calendar... then that's pretty honkin' conformist to me. Or to put it another way mass non-conformity establishes its own defacto conformity. That’s just my point.

What does it mean? Maybe the girls who should be honored are those who toil selflessly- working after school to earn money to help their single mother raise her siblings." Did you see WW today?
