What is perfectly appropriate out West would be seen as quite out of place in other parts of the country. It varies even in very local areas. For several years, I lived in a very small rural area (1 stop light in the entire country) where it was not uncommon or viewed as out of place to have men walk into the local restaurant at lunch time wearing boots with spurs, a Western hat, and a well-outfitted gun-belt strapped around the waist. That is less than 150 miles from here, yet it would be very out of place where I am now – even though I am still in a very rural area.

I don’t think that there is any one set of rules that could accurately be called “correct” dress. On the other hand, it is always correct to be clean and well-groomed. It is always correct to be polite and treat others with respect.

Folks like that have, however, one redeeming quality – they are not beaten into submission by political correctness, and they are not embarrassed to display the Confederate flag (although in cases like this, they should be).

For those who are not familiar with Mr. Meyer, he is the owner and publisher of The Blood of My Kindred – a blog that aggressively supports the “South is bad – North is good” line of thinking.

Great examples….
