   There's obviously a third way to deal with Remembrance Day.   
      
   Spell it "Rememberance".  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.
