First, I would like to thank all those who have made me feel welcome. Thus far, it has been a pleasant and eye-opening experience to find like minded people to converse with here.

Second, for the record, I would like to give a little philosophy of me. I'm open-minded, non judgmental, and believe in "What a person deems appropriate in his or her eyes, then live it that way. I'm a person who does like "going with the crowd", except in times where my morals, values, and beliefs would say different, then I'm true to myself. My conscious is my guide.

Third, I live in NC and while the ignorant people has been using media to really misconstrue things, I would like to know, if there is any a time, where wearing a kilt would make you the center of attention. Here's why. I came to this sight after searching the internet about wearing a kilt on a aircraft. I had planned on wearing my kilt to a destination where I know, it will be accepted. However, after speaking with my buddy, he states, "people will see a man in a dress". While I abhor to that fact, I don't want to be seen as such. I'm a man, and some groups would call me an "otter". If that term is familiar, then that should state my body type. And, I can imagine, if I had to use the facilities in the airport, well, that would definitely make me "stand out", which would create pressure for me, (I think), people would be looking at me.

Fourth, a prime example is wearing a kilt on a motorcycle. While many have responded, and I'm grateful for the thoughts, it has been enlightening with the one post where he carries his kilt and puts it on when he arrives at his destination. I thought of doing that in the EWR airport for then it is meet ground transportation and on I go.

Last, if words of wisdom, philosophy, or thoughts can be posted, my all means, I welcome the input. For I have only worn my kilt at night in the car, and not as clear headed or sober as I should have been. However, this time, I will be clear headed and totally sober. Therefore, liquid courage will not be giving me strength.. ;)
