    "1. Do you wear kilts full time or have that as a goal?"
    I don't now, but I want to.

    "2. Why?"
    because they are comfortable, and I like to go against the grain, and I love my Scottish heritage (though not all my full-time-wearin' kilts would be of tartans)

    "3. Do you believe promotion of full time kilt wearing is important?"
    not really.

    "4. Why?"
    I think we should promote the fact that men in occidental society live in fear of *what others think*. We (by and large) are tragically insecure and pathetically homophobic. Both of these I feel are symptoms of a much deeper issue: we have lost our sense of masculine identity. We are reaping the benefits of a post-feminism aftermath.

    "5. Do you believe kilts will ever be considered a mainstream fashion choice for men?"
    As hopeful as I would like to be, as much as I want kilts to be accepted, I really doubt they will become a fashion staple. I don't think pants will ever go away, nor do I want them to -- at times they can be practical. But people fear and dislike change as much as they fear and dislike freedom, and for some kilts, might offer too much "freedom".
