Red Fridays

[waterspyder]

Red Fridays make me really uncomfortable.

I support our military and its endeavours.

I do not support war.

I never want people to get confused about that.

Not to mention the whole thing reeks of propaganda tactic.

So when everyone at work tells me to wear red on Friday, repeatedly, and then asks me why I didn't on Friday, it makes me uncomfortable. I won't go to the gym on Fridays either for the same reason.

Do you think it would be wrong to remind people that not everyone shares the same political beliefs? I think people lose sight of that sort of thing.

I do wear poppies... if I could find someone to sell me one.

Actually, that's not a bad idea. Wear the poppy on Fridays. No one has ever mistaken the poppy as a pro-war tool (to my knowledge).

*tips hat* Both the Tim Hortons' I've been in this week have them. If you can't pick one up by Monday, let me know and I'll grab you one.

Dulce et decorum est, and so forth.
