Remembrance Day
It's sad, but this year the day seems more relevant than maybe it ever has before during my lifetime. Despite what some of the nutjobs in the UC would tell you, today is about bitterly regretting the cost of war, about honouring those people who paid that cost for the rest of us, and about trying to figure out how we can make sure no-one ever has to pay it again. Or at Studs Terkel said, "Some of us are crazy enough to have a dream of a world in which it would be easier for people to behave decently."
So I hope you all have (and have had) poppies, go to a ceremony if you can, re-read Owen's Dulce et Decorum Est, and think about it. The last is most important; "Lest we forget" isn't just a random phrase.
