The politics of facial hair in Spokane

Let’s say you want to have some sort of beard or mustache. But you don’t really care to use your facial hair stylings to signal your political leanings, cultural sensibility or music preference. Is there such a thing as a beard or mustache that is not a symbol?

I’m just asking. When I grew a beard a few years ago, I definitely was not thinking of it as a billboard for my values and attitudes. I’m sure that is true for many others.

But I have to admit something. Often, when encountering a guy with facial hair, I’m tempted to assume that I could list how he votes, what sort of entertainment he enjoys and how he feels about bike riders.

Surely I would be wrong some of the time. But you know what I mean.

So, anyway, back to the question. In Spokane at least, is there a facial hair option that does not make a statement beyond “I like the way this makes me look”?
