It's November 9... And everyone is flaunting their poppy pins.

The only question I have is for how much longer? Seriously... WW1&2 were pretty brutal events. And yes many many good people died for the cause and for that they are "Heroes" to some extent but I mean really.... Can't we let it be yet?

All I want to know is how much longer are we going to continue this charade of honoring things long past.

Like are kids in fucking 2305 going to be sitting around on Nov.11 still singing the same broken record about Flanders field and all that?

Shouldn't we be I dunno... putting our energies into something more important? Can't we just let the past be the past and not bring it up anymore?

And it's not like anything new about those events is going to be uncovered, every year the same old ceremony, gun salutes and flag waving.
....Great, cause that's what will prevent WW3 from happening.... The whole Remembrance thing is so trivial and uneventful, if you want to remember those who gave their life for the cause then you should do so everyday because without them we'd be all fucked... or German or Jap.

The whole thing is exactly like 9/11... how much longer is that shit going to be going on? It happened... sorry, but deal with it. we don't need to be sitting around singing Kumbaya for the next 50 years because it just happened..... Get over it already, live your damn life and just let it go.
