The problem with pre-judging
So, yesterday I was wearing my new MacKinnon kilt and during the course of the day I stopped at a local convenience store to get a large dose of caffeine. Behind me walks in a young man dressed to the nines in red-neck casual (boots, jeans, hat and the requisite frying pan buckle.) As we were standing at the machine, he says "excuse me, mind if I ask you a question?" I thought to myself "Uh-oh, here it comes" expecting the worst.
Instead he stated "I really like your kilt and have been wanting one for a while. Where did you get it and where can I get one??" So I share the various sites that I know about as well as this board. This certainly was not the conversation I was expecting!
Moral of the story, do not pre-judge a person based upon what he is wearing! (I know, I know, I should know better)
"A veteran, whether active duty, retired, national guard or reserve, is someone who, at one point in his life, wrote a blank check made payable to "The United States of America", for an amount of "up to and including my life." That is honor, and there are way too many people in this country who no longer understand it." anon
