    Rules and Freedom

    True freedom is informed action while accepting responsibility for said action, i.e the "Hat" issue with Panache and Jock Scot. Without knowing what rules we are bending, breaking, or heaving into history's dumpster we are not acting as free men but practicing uninformed folly and will reap the rewards of a fool. Freedom begins when you tell Mrs. Grundy to go fly a kite, but you must know who she is and why she is chapped with your actions.

    Rules

    As has been stated earlier in this thread, it appears that what we are talking about maybe closer to guidelines or conventions, perhaps even standards if you will. As such they are simply in place to show us how far or how near our mode of dress relates to said standard. IMHO the kilt is very much a modern garment, for certainly when kilted it is not my intent to convince onlookers that I just stepped out of the 18th century. I am happy to leave that to the Ren-Fairs, re-enactors, and the Halloween constumers. Whether it's a traditional kilt or a utilikilt or anything in between, I wear what I think I look good in, and invite others to do the same.
    Respectfully,
