I shall indeed be wearing my kilt for the repeal of proscription and also for Canada Day.

For years I taught summer school while the annual bagpiping school was in sesion on our campus. Listening to 20 or 30 young souls taking their first whack at the pipes is in fact a near death experience. :rolleyes:

It's not a killing weapon, it's a psychological one. Pipes stir the blood of the highlander and frighten the English.

yeah, the pipes would be a huge demoralizer...you figure something that loud with a sounds like the pipes have coming at you is going to be trouble...
