And the only people who are truly rude are the random jack@$$es among the student population who act that way whether or not I'm kilted.

My point is that traditional conservative people ought to recognize the kilt for what it is, or at least have the respect and courtesy to stay out of matters that don't concern them. Anyone who gives people crap for wearing a kilt isn't doing so as a conservative, or liberal, but as a jerk.
Very well said...!
