>What is it with Americans and white socks? Even cops and other uniformed personnel seem to wear them, with their dark uniforms. Not me personnally but it's considered bad taste over here. Is it a tradition, requirement or what?
White socks are usually made with cotton, thus more comfortable.
The color can cause infection/rash, especially if on sweety feet, thus, you don't see colored socks on athletic uniforms.
The American Republic will endure, until politicians realize they can bribe the people with their own money.
- Alexis de Tocqueville
No man’s life, liberty, or property is safe while the legislature is in session.
