Well, obliviousness about things like this, Remembrance Day etc, sucks when it's inflicted and poured all over the focus of events and ceremonies, and grieving and remembering, Remembrance and Vets and their families. How disrespectful that is. A potential cure for obliviousness is to educate educate educate and hope the lightbulbs start coming on in some for future.

I'm totally glad to report that I didn't see a single white poppy at todays events ... I would have said something to the wearers about how out of line and context they are, especially at the events and ceremonies. They didn't invade "today" and "here" that I'm aware of.

Fuming is good and heartfelt ... its just so damned sad that's inflicted and triggered for us at this time that we are forced to focus any attention at all on this. Very intrusive and I resent it that I feel the fuming within.

I needed a little ventitaling about this too
