    Unflattering Newsweek Article

    So, having way too much time on my hands, I was reading this: http://www.americancollegeofheraldry...s.htm#NEWSWEEK

    Apparently kilts are pretentious, too.

    The author of this article needs to read what George Washington and Robert Burns said about heraldry.

    Technically everyone wears some modern form of heraldry on occasion. Shirts (or other clothing) with logos and what not have been described by some as modern forms of heraldry.

    ex. Nike, FSU, Devil Rays, Bucs, etc....

    It's just one person's opinion, don't give it too much power.

    Oh, I'm not losing any sleep over it or anything. It just shows a disdain for the history and nature of the subject that I find annoying.

    Well, you can't please all of the people all of the time.. and there will always be those who feel the need to bring others down to their level in order to justify their unhappiness.
