At various times while I have been looking for work, or holding down a job, I have felt off-and-on frustrated with some of the superficial aspects of the process. For example, the notion of having wrinkle-free clothes, well-trimmed facial hair, and wearing a tie. Usually these things have no objective bearing on whether I am able to be hired in the first place or whether I can do my job when I have it, and I feel like these precepts bear comparison with the dietary and similar regulations that Christ spoke against. Is it just me (am I being too much a "communist" about this, I suppose?) or is this a fair criticism of American society as such?
