Well....okay....maybe I didn't hear a story like that, maybe it's just my worst nightmare.
But someone did say that small town America wasn't ready for this and by the way I didn't ever get the mean "nice skirt" comment thrown at me until I was in Flagstaff.
Small town Americas ready for it, they've just not seen it yet. I'm kilted almost full time here in North Ga. ( the heart of redneck territory ), and frequently work in places that bring the movie Deliverance to mind. All with no problems. 
I don't Santa Fe will notice.

Respectfully, I think you need to stop fretting so much. I live in one of the most conservative small towns in what is probably the most conservative state in the union - Idaho. I have had virtually no bad encounters. I have had a few gawks and some teen age titters when I pass - but if you're not willing to put up with a bit of of that - this may not be the garment for you. On the other hand, I have had loads of positive comments - some almost gushing - from all kinds of people - young folks, old folks, kids - you name it.
In the end I think your going to have to go out there and have your own unique experiences in a kilt and decide if this is a path you want to persue or not.
