					The worst part at our games are the LARP people being brought in to do historical and cultural demonstrations and calling themselves reenactors.  What the hell are they reenacting?!?  The "battle" they had last week?  And to add insult to injury, the UW-Milwaukee Department of Celtic Studies had a booth at the Highland Games.  Why weren't they asked to do a history lesson?
 No wonder people dress up like Braveheart, that is what we're telling them IS Scottish history.  They show up in Renn Fair costume because we tolerate it.
