Yes, thank god we never have to worry about that stuff anymore now that we are so evolved. Your comments are another subject beyond design. Do not try to involve your historical socio politial opinions in the wrong class so to speak. That discussion is down the hall in another class.

I wish this era of simplicity could come back to us new guys in osme way. Design today has too much pressure to make poeple happy and fashion happy. These guys just went all vision.
