It's not a skirt!

My aunt and uncle took a vacation to Great Britain a couple weeks ago, which I got to hear about yesterday. Most of it was uninteresting to me, but near the end of the trip they visited Dunvegan Castle on the Isle of Skye. That's the ancestral and current home of the MacLeods, one of the few Scottish clans to maintain their roots from formation to the present. They're also my relatives via my paternal grandmother. (My great-grandfather was William Wallace MacLeod, named after, of course, Mel Gibson. :P) So it was kinda cool to hear about my heritage; as a WASP, I wasn't even aware I had much in my ancestry to be proud of.

Yeah, I have to deal with that kind of thinking on a regular basis. From people my age. Can't we all just get along? >_

It's really too bad that the non-retarded citizens of the Deep South can't overcome the stereotypical hick bigots who want to keep the Segregation Train rolling. I feel horrible for the people down there who actually possess brains.
