Walden and ”Civil Disobedience”

"The head monkey at Paris puts on a traveller's cap, and all the monkeys in America do the same." p.19

(R) Monkey see, monkey do. It's so sad knowing that our kind has advanced so much and yet so little in the time between now and when this quote was written. You see people outside wearing toms, skinny jeans, "swag" shirts, and Obey snapbacks, that still claim to be original individuals, but those that can't afford all that stuff, that have to put their own outfits together out of outgrown pieces of cloth are more preoccupied with less material things instead of feeling the need to prove to everyone else that they are an original individual by doing the exact same thing the next person does. I really dislike hypocrisy.
