Excellent points! To each, his/her own.

Since I have begun wearing a kilt, I notice that I am less judgemental where the personal choices of others are concerned. Not that I ever had a big problem in this regard, it is just that now when I see a really freaky hairdo or odd piece of clothing I have a little better idea where that person is coming from. Plus, I figure that person is probably predisposed to be more tolerant of how I look- not necessarily, but hopefully they are.
