Default Re: New England town divided over yellow ribbons

Quote:
As long as people blindly associate "war dissent" with "not supporting the troops", it lends validity to the complaints against the yellow ribbons.
If people on both sides of the issue would separate the issue of "supporting the troops" and "opinion of the war", it would remove the validity of the complaint.
exactly spot on target!!!

I think the whole fuss is stupid - and I don't mind the ribbons. But your observance is - unquestionably - valid.
