    It's a big world with a lot of idiots. Actually mostly idiots. You can't set them all right.

    My other platitude is this: Some people just need to feel superior to everyone else somehow and the kilt makes an easy target.

    Either way, choose your battles. And don't make fun of the kids with huge pants covered with zippers and chains and clips and whatnot. You dress funny, too.

    Friday I was shopping with my lovely wife and children at Target. I got a few smiles, mostly people didn't react one way or another. Then two large "Frat Boy"* types in shorts and atheltic T-shirts walked past me and stared. Then started laughing. I felt no anger but suddenly had an insight, a moment of enlightenment, a merest instant of Satori as to the purpose of kilts:

    They are idiot detectors!

    The kilt causes fools to reveal themselves. We the wearers are now informed and will not waste a moment of our time with those unworthy of our attention.

    Cheers

    * My apologies to any Fraternity Brothers here for this generalization
