Memorial Day

Before this gets out of hand, let's remember what this day started out as. It was originally Decoration Day, to honor the dead from the Civil War, from both sides.

Honor the Dead.

Remember the horrors.

Hope for peace.

No more war.

Happy Memorial Day to all.

Hey Notec,

Regardless of our beliefs, mores, and folkways, and the incredibly wide divergence in those, whether pro or anti military, pro or anti religious, what drives them and how it's mutated through the years, been commodified, commercialized, spun and used, try, oh try to keep it civil.

You'd be surprised at how many probably agree with some of your views but your approach to all of this is heavy handed and out of line.

Tolerance of your views demands tolerance of others. Try not to be so impulsive. Edit, re-edit and do what I do when it seems to be too strong a retort: delete it.

All the best,
Nonoise
