****************************************************** I
don't think its so subtle at all. Macho is an attitude. Tough
is really difficult to break or wear down. A Ford truck may
project a "macho" image, but when they say it's built Ford
tough, they mean the truck is hard to break. Virtually
anybody can act macho. But tough is not an image, it's real
and measurable. A good leather motorcycle jacket is both
macho and tough. A stylish leather motorcycle jacket made of
soft leather is macho without being tough. You can't tell by
the price. The stylish leather may cost as much if not more
than the hard leather, but if you hit the road, you'll know
the difference.
