Use November 11th as a special day to show how       much you hate. Hijack the day that was set aside to remember the horror       of war and spit in its face. Spit in the face of veterans as well, both       literally and figuratively. Start a White Poppy campaign. Politicize       the event.              Demonize anyone who claims to 'remember' as being militaristic.              "Lest we forget"? Yeah - some of us have forgotten.       http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SS1dO0JC2EE              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
