You're absolutely right. There's not one thing wrong with boots or the western culture/heritage that exists in this city. I wear boots all the time, have had the same pair since the late 70's.
Some of you posters, for some reason, have the misguided notion that to turn our backs on the reality of what this great city was and is, is the surest path to becoming the New Jerusalem or something. Time and again you can read in this very forum about the need for something different to set us apart. Yet here, when we have that very thing, the history that belongs to us, many badmouth it, are for some reason embarrassed by it, and want to magically change it into someone's perception of what a hip, vibrant west coast city would be.
Yeah, we've got our fair share of rubes and rednecks, but that alone shouldn't dictate how we, the rest of us, feel about the true nature of this wonderful, still wild and free city.
Now.....what about that Sonics thread.
