    Here's an idea:

    Maybe we need an X Marks Get Out Of Jail Free card, to present to people who are attempting to enforce the kilt statutes.

    If you have ever seen a Public Defender's business card, it will frequently quote the Miranda warnings on the back. One side of our card could say that the bearer is entitled to wear his kilt as he pleases, that he has given some thought to it and that he is prepared to disregard the self appointed authority of anyone who wishes to correct him.

    On the back:

    "The Highland dress is essentially a 'free' dress -- that is to say, a man's taste and circumstances must alone be permitted to decide when and where and how he should wear it... I presume to dictate to no man what he shall eat or drink or wherewithal he shall be clothed."
    -- The Hon. Stuart Ruaidri Erskine, The Kilt & How to Wear It, 1901.

    Now that's an idea... but would it have any affect? After all, "A man convinced against his will, is of the same opinion still"
