But you have to admit, there must be an awful lot of folks who do like those flat caps, with or without kilts, as it seems that the retailers continue to sell them a quite a clip.

Actually FM, I think that our aesthetic values tend to be pretty tied up to our cultural upbringing.
But boy that brings a lot of sociology and human development, and the nature of art and aesthetic values into the equation.
Hang on for more pages Phil!
