I would agree, and I have never worn orange just for the sake of it or to be provocative. Unlike many on this board, I live in an area of the country where Catholics historically are pretty rare -- even the Irish people around here tended to be Protestant, and more likely than not were really Ulster-Scots. That is changing some, but historically there simply isn't a strong Irish or Irish-Catholic presence around here. Green on St. Patrick's Day was something my parents grew up with, and even now it falls more under the "everyone's Irish on St. Patrick's Day" idea than actually being Irish.
