14. Lapel pins scare me
They remind me of the film Schindler's List. I always think of the SS officers' uniforms and their prominent use of lapel pins.

The post 9/11 climate had (has?) the same feel. Declaring your allegiance to an orthodox set of ideas was more important than trying to rationally assess the situation and do good works. When I realized Obama doesn't wear one, I knew we were dealing with someone altogether different.
