Theory and Practice

What does the word Individualism mean to us as human beings living in these United States of America in the 21st century? It is a word and concept that is thrown around a lot by politicians and pundits, punks, plumbers, and proles of all sorts—but is there any content to this seemingly thoughtless verbiage? Invididual Liberty—solidified in Private Property—is the foundation of our system and the supposed guarantor of all our Rights, but this has been seriously undermined by not only modern theory but also modern practice. This is a forum to open up the discussion about what exactly this abstract idea—Individualism and its corollary Freedom—means or can mean in the context of the situation we as a people now find ourselves in.

What Does Your iPhone Tell People About You?

I don't think I even need to say anything about this one. This is an actual post from iphone4case.com

There are many ways to customize your iPhone so it becomes an extension of who you are. Many people around the world and in the United States use colors to represent their moods, feelings, who they are and what they’re like. You can do the same thing with your iPhone and really make an impression with whoever sees it. We are going to take a look at some different colors to give you an idea of how you can use your iPhone to represent your passions in life. Color representation is far from an exact science but generally speaking, it’s pretty accurate. So here we go!

Red: This color has been a legendary symbol of power, strength, passion, sexuality and action for ages. Many women have used the color red to show their flare for the dramatic and bring attention to themselves. Usually, women who display red are looking to show off what they’ve got and do it with all the love in the world for themselves. Red can also be a color of negative connotation because it is such a loud color.

Yellow: This color has long been associated with caution, brightness, smarts, joy, a sense of organization and the spring time months. It is also one of those loud colors that some people find offensive, therefore it is also associated with some negative emotions, like sourness.

Blue: Blue has forever been one of the calm colors, associated with tranquil feelings, love, acceptance, tolerance, understanding and cooperation with others. Displaying blue is like laying a doormat out for the world and meaning you appreciate their company with calmness and comfort. Because it isn’t a bright color, it is usually associated with depressed and non-offensive feelings on the opposite end of the spectrum.

Orange: Orange is one of the colors that are most associated with positive energy. Orange isn’t TOO bright, which means it isn’t offensive to look at. This color is a fantastic way to display your love for your own personal energy and unique outlook on life without imposing on others. Many people love orange as their favorite color for this reason.

Purple: This is another one of those non-offensive colors. Purple is most commonly associated with royalty, sophisticated people who don’t like hordes of attention and religion. Purple is a slightly energetic but mostly calm color that doesn’t offend the eyes. Most people in royalty like this color because first and foremost, wealth brings happiness and peace.

Green: Green is the color of money and wealth. This has long been its association with the dollar bill and many people immediately think of money when it comes to this color. It also does well to represent nature, growth, sharing and responsive feelings.

Colors can be either loud or soft depending on their shade. You can say a lot about yourself with color but it’s never a good idea to limit yourself to just one color only. Doing so may change your moods for the worse and play havoc with your eyes. Opt to get some wallpapers, cases and other accessories for your iPhone that you cam interchange with your moods.

  1. Mine is unadorned. I wonder what that's indicative of.

  2. I'm a purist. I'm not even fond of the clear protection coating I put on the front and back.

    If I were to pick a color, I think I would go with a rainbow of them all... or is that just indecision?

  3. The underlying truth:

    "Most people in royalty like this color because first and foremost, wealth brings happiness and peace."

    The pitch:

    "...but it’s never a good idea to limit yourself to just one color only. Doing so may change your moods for the worse and play havoc with your eyes. Opt to get some wallpapers, cases and other accessories for your iPhone that you cam interchange with your moods."

    I too hope to avoid having havoc played with my eyes.
