People's Ignorance
I was out walking the other day in a kilt, and for the first (and so far only) time someone yelled out the F word to me from a passing car. Now I don't pay too much attention to that sort of thing, as I figure it just shows the ignorance and immaturity of the person. What got me to thinking afterwards, was how ignorant the person was of his own locality's heritage. I walked down many streets that day with names like McKinley and Wallace, and several other similar names I can't recall right now. Now streets are given names for a reason, even if the reason is only that someone of that name lived there at one time, so there was obviously a Scottish influence. Now I know that many people don't seem to care about their heritage, but the whole situation just seemed sad to me.
