    My heart goes out to the Renn family. The community support shown here is inspiring. Given that compassion and empathy motivates us all, what subtleties does this choice suggest about us?

    Fenway's suggested image- Conservative, moderate, compliant, cares what others think. Yields to peer pressure. Never figured out how to use Google image. Likes bacon or at least claims to.

    Custom image- I will mourn in my own way. Libertarian, extreme wingnut (either direction). Kids who grew up with l'il or no adult supervision. Rebellious. Possibly angry. Likes bacon (especially if a Semite). Poetic soul, or 7 yr old trapped in an old body.

    Unchanged image- Libertarian. Thinks cheap grace is silly. Didn't cover oneself in flags after 9-11 either. Didn't get the message. Tried and failed. Never figured out how to use Google image. Single issue voter. Likes bacon.

    Whatever image (but objects to this post)- Antiintellectual redneck who feels threatened by pop psychology psychobable. Yes, you. Likes bacon.

    Image stays for a month- True believer or toadie. Hopes to get out of a speeding ticket down the road.

    Bacon- Brain dead, but not afraid to like bacon.

    This is my first bacon post. Now I feel like a pusillanimous sycophant.*

    * (toadie for you dumba**es)

    p.s. I reserve the right to modify this post as I move up the learning curve.
    pps. I apologize in advance to anyone offended. As,

    I did not change mine as we are showing support outside in the real world. Gathering and handing out free light bulbs and helping in other ways.
    I believe anyone in this forum knows I am in full support of this effort. And yes, I love me some bacon.

    Also there is the fact that I am a computer idiot.

    I colored my normal avatar and it seems to work well. I do like the idea of showing support for the police for a while. I was looking for blue light bulbs for my outside lights.

    I just didn't get that deep into thought about the choosing of the avatar. Bacon is a whole 'nother issue.

    If I changed my avatar to the one in the OP would I then be a conformist? or does it take more than two for conformity to rear it's ugly head?

    Did the same as Expat. Reckon I'll make a special one for such occasions in the future. Unfortunately, this won't be the last.

    I cave in to peer pressure pretty easy. Someone turns their AV blue, I'm with ya. Group of people eating bacon, I'm there! Someone suggest wiping your ass with a sock, well, you get the picture!!

    That's a picture I wasn't looking to have in my head this morning. Thanks Dad.
