    Well.... I wonder what he thinks about the kilt then? We'd certainly not fall into the "draped in denim" and not dressing better than "society's most slovenly" categories. Neither, evidently are we part of the preisthood, although there are certainly men of the cloth amongst our ranks. Sounds a little full of himself to me. I too hope that the article is all in fun and to be taken, as are most rants and reviews of "professional" writers of newspaper columns, with a grain of salt.

    I think that he meant it sarcastically.

    Since there are of course no social classes in the USA it can’t be about that.
    Thank goodness we never read anything like that here.

    I've said it before... A kilted man is always more well-dressed than anyone else around him in most cases, even when kilted casually.

    None? Hmm, I would like to think there arn't any social classes but sadly I beg to differ. Could you consider the lower, middle and upper income Social classes?

    A day without killting is like a day without sunshine.

    I was being sarcastic. Classlessness in the USA is a myth. There are class types and stereotypes everywhere.
