In the article "Right-Wingtips," as usual, the author comes off as a slightly snobby Northeasterner. He has obviously not spent much time in Texas. And yes, while I grant his point to some extent, down here in San Antonio it's a matter of a different style. Starched jeans, and starched shirts along with a nice Stetson or Resistol hat is considered excellent attire to go along with your Ostrich boots. And while the grunge look still is common, many people in Texas add some starch to those Wranglers, and that nice shirt. Again snotty Northeasterners have no right telling the rest of us what to wear to look like a metrosexual (a silly thing to be in the first place).

p>And while born in 1960, and still fond of my Rock music, yes, I do own Classical music, which I rather enjoy from time to time. And the author and I share one trait, we both loathe Country music. br> -- Robert E. Murphy br> San Antonio, Texas /p> p> I hope Mark Gauvreau Judge finds a lovely wife and that they are blessed with many children. He's going to make a great dad. Although "metrocon" is a funny word, Mr. Judge is really just talking about becoming a father. When you have kids, you're forced to clean up your act. No foul language. Clean clothes. Well groomed hair and nails. An organized life with bills paid and meals neatly eaten. These are necessities, not options, with a large family. Those of us who want to raise civilized adults out of the hilarious savages who are delivered into our care are forced to become genteel, quiet-spoken, mannered parents. Those who eschew parenthood can remain uncultured brutes forever. Too many of them, sadly, do. br> -- Bonnie Ramthun br> Erie, Colorado /p>
