I am also from Virginia and yes, boys were taught at a young age to take off their hats. These days people tend to leave them on. This doesn't bother me so much as all the cursing (not nice words) you seem to hear in public. It seems to be in general conversation just "cussing" away, and sometimes it isn't always the real young folks either (older ones are guilty too). It makes me wonder what happened in the manners department for these folks. I am in my mid fifties and I can't believe how people conduct themselves in public like this, especially within earshot of children.

Just my little rant!!
