Messing With Young Minds

[MacTavishOfJapan]

Wicked! Nicely done!

I had a mother today bend down and say out loud to her young daughter "Look, there's a man in a skirt", talking of messing with young minds!

I yelled out "It's a KILT!!!!"

Then later a group of young people laughed at me as I walk past. I missed an opportunity to ask them which was sillier...a man wearing a comfortable, healthy garment - or a young boy sitting there sucking on a concoction of over 100 dangerous chemicals (cigarette)?

Something about 'he who laughs last...' came to mind.

All in a day's kilting!

Great interaction Ron. Those are some of the most enjoyable. And with my move, I have a whole new audience to educate about kilt wearing.

And how is that going, KCW?

Your too late, I'm 1/4 navajo as well as my scottish.

I hate to say this, but I've seen far too many 6' 250+ lb women here in Oklahoma...


...and yes, most of them had some sort of facial hair.

I agree,now if we can just get ya'l to keep 'em there.

Hey Neo,

Ya Tey, Dine' in Arkansas? Cool.

Last year I stopped at Cameron Trading Post (Being of Cameron Clan descent seemed logical to stop there). A Navajo guy came out as I was going in, saw my kilt and stopped to talk. He said he was 1/4 Scottish and his wife had just seen a guy kilted in Flagstaff the week before and came home and told him she'd seen one of his Scottish cousin brothers...He asked if I was from Flagstaff. Told him I was from Page and he had to think that through.

Anyway, he resolved that he was gonna buy a kilt to honor his Scottish heritage. Sorry, forgot his Scottish Clan.

So much in common between Navajo people and Scottish people. Both have clan systems. Both were conquered and not allowed to speak their language, wear their traditional dress, or follow their traditional spiritual ways. The Navajos were rounded up and sent on the Long Walk, the Scots were rounded up an shipped overseas. The Navajo people did eventually get to return to their homeland. And both peoples have stuggled with booze.

A new interpretation of the phrase Great Spirit ?

Very interesting comparison Ron, ad I dare say it's probably the same story with other nations at some point in history.
